Enrique Thompson, a dynamic saxophonist from Argentina based on Canary Islands and Vienna, blends fiery jazz improvisation with the passion of Argentine tango. Leading Revirado Project, he redefines tango-jazz fusion with modern harmonies, virtuosic solos, and rhythmic intensity. The ensemble has toured internationally, earning acclaim for its “electrifying stage energy” (Arturo O’Farrill – 5 Grammy awarded) and “captivating ensemble that masterfully blends the passionate rhythms of tango with the improvisational freedom of jazz, creating a unique and exhilarating fusion” (All About Jazz).
Revirado Project, is a captivating ensemble that masterfully blends the passionate rhythms of tango with the improvisational freedom of jazz, creating a unique and exhilarating fusion. Their music is a testament to the versatility of both genres, showcasing intricate arrangements, emotive melodies, and a seamless interplay between instruments. The group’s ability to balance the fiery intensity of tango with the cool sophistication of jazz makes their sound both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition. One of their standout tracks, “Song for Someone / Canción para Alguien,” is a beautiful representation of their artistry. The piece begins with a hauntingly melodic introduction, gradually building into a rich tapestry of sound. The bandoneón, a staple of tango music, is replaced by the saxophone, which takes center stage, weaving melancholic yet hopeful lines that are complemented by the lush harmonies of the piano and the rhythmic drive of the double bass. The jazz influences shine through in the improvisational solos, which add a layer of spontaneity and emotional depth to the composition. The title itself, “Song for Someone / Canción para Alguien,” suggests a deeply personal and universal message—a musical dedication that resonates with listeners on an intimate level. The track’s dynamic shifts and evocative phrasing create a narrative that feels both introspective and expansive, inviting the audience to reflect on their own connections and experiences. Revirado Project’s “Song for Someone / Canción para Alguien” is a testament to the power of cross-genre collaboration, offering a fresh perspective on tango and jazz while honoring their rich histories. It’s a must-listen for anyone seeking music that is both emotionally stirring and intellectually engaging.
