Liner Note Author: Paquito D'Rivera. Recording information: Knoop Studios (10/24/2006/10/25/2006). Arranger: Oscar Stagnaro. The great Paquito d'Rivera does it again with 2007's FUNK TANGO. Contrary to what the title implies, the compositions on this set are neither tango-steeped nor explicitly funky. Instead, d'Rivera leads a top-shelf ensemble through post-bop, Afro-Cuban jazz, and Brazilian forms, and other styles plucked from the jazz vocabulary to be tasted, tested, and re-combined at will. The appearance of a tune by tango master Astor Piazolloa, and the title track by pianist Alon Yavnai (who performs it as a duet with d'Rivera) made good on the album's name. D'Rivera, as always, is riveting on both saxophone and clarinet.
