Today, April 7th, is the official release, by Relative Pitch, of my new album, Soledad. It's a solo album of music composed by the late nuevo tango composer, musician, and bandleader, Astor Piazzolla. I first saw Piazzolla perform in 1987 with his quintet, and that moment changed my life in quite a few ways. Since that night, I had always wanted to record a solo album of this music which has affected me so much.
The album consists of five piece, four written by Piazzolla and one written by me. The piece I wrote is a duet with Michael Formanek on double bass.
The songs are:
Soledad
Invierno Porteño
Adios Nonino
Suite for Ahl
Tristezas de un Doble A
It's available here:

| Got my copy in today's mail and I'm on my 2nd listening. I wasn't familiar with Piazzolla so I checked out some of his stuff on youtube first. While I appreciate what a lot of free jazz, new music and experimental artists are doing, I usually can't listen to it for very long. It's a testament to Piazzolla's brilliant composition and Susan's remarkable playing that this recording is so captivating - even to a jump blues/swing guy like me. Really brings out the heavenly sonority of a well-played pedal steel guitar. |

Hey Susan,
I ordered this last week and it arrived in the mail yesterday. Your playing is great and so are the arrangements (although I admit I'm not very familiar with Piazzolla). It's very inspiring and refreshing to hear something other than country played on pedal steel.
