Internationally acclaimed pianist Pablo Ziegler is probably best known as the pianist to the great Astor Piazzolla, whom he played with throughout the 1980s. Ziegler has carried on the torch since the master's death in 1992, issuing a handful of very good albums in the late '90s. Also featuring guitarist Quique Sinesi and bandoneon player Walter Castro, the album is a mix of rich Ziegler originals and a few covers. Most notable of the latter are Piazzolla's "Chin Chin" and "Fuga Y Misterio," which is the most complex fugue ever written by the master. Yet it isn't the complexity of the music here, or even the virtuosity (though that helps) that makes this album so winning; it is the unadulterated passion that comes through in these beautiful tunes. In fact, while Bajo Cero originally came out in 2003 on a different label, the power of the music demanded a reissue a mere two years after it first came out. --Tad Hendrickson

4 out of 5 stars Dark Tango.......2007-01-10

If you like your music dark and spooky, go for this Pablo Ziegler opus. With a bandoneon player who can't seem to play in a major scale and innovative variations on a theme of tango, this is no beginner album. The jazzy but spare piano combined with smart guitar and that mysterious squeeze box combine to produce an intriguing choice in the lineage of Astor Piazzolla.

5 out of 5 stars Ziegler Doesn't Disappoint!.......2005-06-04

When Pablo Ziegler began recording solo albums after a long stint as Astor Piazzolla's pianist, most of the songs he recorded naturally paid homage to the deceased master. Then, as time passed, Ziegler seemed to feel more comfortable as an artist in his own right, and began to add some of his own compositions to albums that still leaned heavily on the legacy of Piazzolla. With Bajo Cero, Ziegler takes his boldest step out of Piazzolla's shadow and confidently expresses his own muse even when interpreting a Piazzolla composition.
I bought Bajo Cero several years ago when it was first issued and liked it instantly but it soon became overwhelmed in the jumble of other music I was then listening to. Recently, I brought it with me on a long trip and allowed it to play over and over, thus allowing me to develop an appreciation for what a fine recording this is.
Here's what I like best: Rayuela, Flor de Lino, and the title cut are the finest expressions of Ziegler's own muse. Fuga Y Misterio is my favorite Piazzolla composition interpreted here and I really enjoy Ziegler's take on the classic Los Mareados and the more modernistic Yuyo Verde.
When I bought Bajo Cero, I was hoping that it would showcase a mature Pablo Ziegler, and Ziegler did not disappoint! He is ably backed by Quique Sinesi on guitar and Walter Castro on bandoneon, both of whom I'd like to hear more. They put the flesh on Ziegler's arrangements without overpowering his virtuoso piano.
Here's a CD that's as listenable at the office as it is at home. If you are a Ziegler fan, a Piazzolla fan, or merely piano enthusiast with a soft spot for jazzy tango, then I highly recommend that you add Bajo Cero to your collection. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Jazz purity in Tango.......2006-08-23

Very good commentaries expressed by Mr.Sagman

Just came back form Buenos Aires, its a city vibrant with contemporary jazz, first class musicians and a good display of argentinian jazz I brought along.

I almost missed Bajo Cero for I looked in the jazz section and it was classified as Tango.. if you are familar with Piazzolla then this should come as a refreshingly pure addition.. if you are not, then this is refreshingly good introduction.. not to miss

4 out of 5 stars Distinctive and delicate to the heart..........2005-05-03

For me, a beautiful blend of the artists' talent and music. The jazz is a complement to the momentum and energy of the classic tango.

5 out of 5 stars a masterful recording.......2003-09-01

Pablo Ziegler, a protege of one of Argentina's greatest composers, Astor Piazzolla, produced with Quique Sinesi guitar and Walter Castro bandoneon a beautiful CD. It features Ziegler's own compositions as well as music by Piazzolla and others. The tunes and playing often soulful are spirited and passionate in the true style and sensitivity that musicians from that country usually produce. And unlike many of the Piazzolla recordings, the bandoneon when played by the composer, is not allowed to dominate the sound, producing a much more intimate effect resembling a chamber music trio. Buy this CD if you enjoy the best that Argentina can produce.
