[Tango-L] Premier of a new tango trio

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

Last night I saw the premier of a new tango trio, Step, at
Pittsburgh’s new weekly milonga, Tango Barrio.  Directed by
Jeremy Sment, formerly of Tangueros de Ley, this band of
violin, bass, and accordion performed 2 hours of mostly
traditional pieces, a couple of new tangos by Jeremy, and
one Piazzolla piece.  They also used a tanda format, though
without cortinas.  Nice variations on classics that kept
the pieces interesting but very danceable.

Given the recent posts about orchestras, I wanted to share
news of this new group.  Jeremy was also very receptive to
my feedback (one milonga had too many rhythm changes, one
new piece was a little off, and one new compositions should
have been moved to the second set).  Only 3 minor errors in
their first gig for tango dancers.

Jeremy formed this band to concentrate on music for dancers
and I have to say it was a big success.  I am looking
forward to dancing with them again.  And, yes, I would hire
them for my own milonga here.  Anyone interested in Step
can contact Jeremy at Jeremy at jeremysment.com.
