Pedro Aznar, one of Argentina's most important artists, has remained at the forefront of the music scene throughout his career from the legendary Serú Girán, through his solo work, to joining the Pat Metheny Group and continues to be active today. This second album, released in 1984 during his time with the Pat Metheny Group, stands alongside his debut as a benchmark for the Argentine mellow sound. 7 tracks in total, “Para Acunar A Leila” represents the pinnacle of mellow fusion, evolving from elegant piano and rhythm machine textures into a spacious vocal landscape enhanced by Pomo Lorenzo's drumming, “23” a beautiful journey exceeding 11 minutes, embodies the spirit of the group featuring Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays (Pedro Aznar wrote on his 23rd birthday, July 23rd), “Candombegle” seemingly inspired by Egle Martin's historic work “El Dombe” featuring Osvaldo Fattoruso on candombe, and “A La Hora Que Se Duermen Los Trenes”, “La Noche Sueña Al Día” sung with a weighty presence as if reading Jorge Lencina's lyrics, which was also released as a single. An undeniably great album. Original, great condition with original inner sleeve.
伝説的なSerú Giránからソロの活動を経てPat Metheny Groupへの参加など現在まで第一線を歩み続けるアルゼンチンの最重要アーティストのひとりPedro Aznar。本作はPat Metheny Groupへの参加期と重なる84年にリリースされたファーストと並びアルゼンチン・メロウ・サウンドの指針となるようなセカンドアルバム。ピアノとリズムマシーンによる優美な展開から伸びやかな歌声とPomo Lorenzoのドラミングが加わるメロウ・フュージョンの究極とでも言えそうな”Para Acunar A Leila”、Pat Metheny, Lyle Maysが参加したグループを体現したような11分を超える美しい旅路”23” (Pedro Aznarが23歳の誕生日(7/23)に書き上げた楽曲)、Osvaldo Fattorusoがカンドンベで参加しているEgle Martinの歴史的作品”El Dombe”にインスパイアされたと思われる”Candombegle”、Jorge Lencinaの歌詞を読み上げるようにどっしりと歌うシングル化もされている”La Noche Sueña Al Día”, "A La Hora Que Se Duermen Los Trenes"含む全7曲。文句のつけようがない大名盤。オリジナルインナー付きの美品です。
