This album of Julio De Caro's early works is the other true pearl of the catalogue. Blue Moon have gathered the best material from their El Bandoneón releases together with some previously unreleased tracks.
De Caro was constantly innovative in his early recordings, housing the rhythmic playfulness of the guardia vieja within a rich musical structure. These recordings prefigure the work of his disciple Osvaldo Pugliese by some twenty years - if you haven't heard De Caro before you will be astonished by the similarity of the arrangements.
I just can't get enough of this. Two CDs of Julio De Caro is not too much - this is the best album of his work available. Exquisite.
