Well, I bought it and for me, I DON'T see it as essential for 
traditional dancers. The early stuff with Gardel is scratchy. The 
Piazolla is from a live album. A lot of the other stuff has more of a 
piano bar/jazz feeling to me. There is NOTHING in the collection that I 
have ever heard at a traditional milonga here in Florida. (Whenever I 
have heard a Piazolla tanda at a traditional milonga here in Florida, it 
was a studio cut - NOT a live cut.)

Nuevo fans might find a few cuts they like.
