| Created
in 2002, is the result of many years exploring
both jazz and tango. A unique and electrifying ensemble
which melds traditional tango musical figures, rhythms
and instruments along with the not-traditional jazz
sounds of the saxophone. Monk's music keeps intact
the dancing quality that made Argentine Tango famous
around the World. The original choreographs become
wonderful visual interludes in a program which creates
a unique and challenging new artistic direction.
