Borraro, Horacio "chivo"
Blues Para Un Cosmonauta
Fans of Coltrane will certainly dig this historical 1970s spiritual jazz album from Argentina which left an everlasting
imprint in the local jazz scene. From the eerie 'Blues Para Un Cosmonauta' -which could easily fit in the 'Twin Peaks'
soundtrack-, to the majestic 'Líneas Torcidas' or the mid-tempo groove of 'Mi Amigo Tarzán,' new landscapes in jazz are
explored without hiding, at moments, the musicians' bebop pedigree. Venturing into uncharted dimensions, the album
breaks with traditionalism and combines jazz and new electronic instruments into a contemporary concept that is both
cosmic and sensual, a sound where timbre and space play a crucial role. Here, no track sounds like the other. The
charismatic, multifaceted saxophone player Horacio "Chivo" Borraro is joined here most notably by Fernando Gelbard -who
pioneered electronic keyboards and analog synths in Argentina, playing here Fender Rhodes and Minimoog- and Brazilian
musician Stenio Mendes, who plays the 12-string craviola and contributes two tracks. Jorge González on bass and Néstor
Astarita on drums -both part of Gato Barbieri's rhythm section in the early '60s- and Chino Rossi -responsible for much
of the unusual percussion and special effects that give the album its unprejudiced aura- complete the line-up of 'Blues
Para Un Cosmonauta.'
