Review

In the 1970s, Argentine-born saxophonist Leandro "Gato" Barbieri came to fame for his soundtrack of Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris--but his most important work of that period was a daring series of recordings for Impulse. On them, Barbieri travelled to places such as Buenos Aires, Argentina and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and recorded with local musicians, combining his fiery post-Coltrane sensibility and Latin American rhythms and styles, often played on indigenous instruments. This 2 CD reissue, Latino America, collects the material from the two first recordings in the series plus some previously unreleased material. Here Barbieri and his ensembles stretch out exploring Argentine folkore ("La China Leoncia"), tango ("Nunca Mas," which features Dino Saluzzi on bandoneon), and Brazilian samba ("Encontros") with remarkably clarity and force. More than 25 years later, the passion, the power, and the originality of these tracks is still stunning. --Fernando Gonzalez
