Subject: Marcelo Alvarez Sings Carlos Gardel
Hello all,
I'm new to the list, so I'll introduce myself. My name is Andy Cahn, Promotion
Manager at Sony Classical. I wanted to let you know about a CD we are releasing
in the US later this month called "Marcelo Alvarez Sings Gardel." I'm sure you
all know all about Gardel, but maybe you don't know Alvarez, an operatic tenor
from Argentina who records for Sony Classical. His first disc for us was a
collection of Italian Arias, but for his new disc, he went back to Argentina to
record his favorite Carlos Gardel songs with a great band of tango musicians,
including pianist Pablo Ziegler. There is even a "duet" between Alvarez and
Gardel on "Mi Buenos Aires Querido." You can check it out on the web at
http://sonyclassical.com/music/61840.
I would like to send this out to all the major tango organizations throughout
the US. Could someone please help me out with any kind of mailing list? I
would also appreciate any information on radio shows that play a lot of tango
classics. If you can help me out, I'll hook you up with an advance disc! You
can email me at andy_cahn @sonymusic.com.
Also, there is a TV special called "Marcelo Alvarez: In Search of Gardel" that
is scheduled to run on PBS stations this fall. It's mostly a documentary on
Gardel's life and music, and how he is remembered in Buenos Aires. There are
also behind the scenes footage on the making of the Alvarez CD and music videos
of a few of the tracks.
WNET in New York, WNED in Buffalo, WPBT in Miami and KUAT in Tucson have agreed
to air the show this September and October, but I could use some help convincing
stations in other cities to air this great tango music program. If you go to
the "PBS STATION LOCATOR" page at http://www.pbs.org/stationfinder, you can
enter your zipcode to find the station near you. You can then click on a
station to find the phone number and email address. PBS programmers definitely
pay attention to audience response. If you let your station know that you want
to see "In Search of Gardel" and other tango programs on TV, it will make a
difference.
If someone out there operates a tango website, and wants to list the stations
with their phone numbers and email addresses, I can help set that up for you.
If you have a place where we can put up any posters about the CD and TV special,
I can send you materials.
Thanks, and please contact me at andy_cahn @sonymusic.com if you can help out in
any way.

Subject: NA-W: Tomas Howlin and Pablo Veron
It seems that some misunderstandings may have occurred due to a posting we
made to the list late june, when we (studio TANGO monteal) announced that
Tomas Howlin would be teaching during the month of July at our studio. It
seems that some may have misunderstood when we announced , that among other
things, Tomas would be taking over our Friday night open inter/advanced
class, which Pablo Veron had been teaching during the months of May and
June. This statement was by no means meant to infer that Tomas Howlin was
ever in any way considered by anyone here or by anyone elsewhere to be Pablo
Veron's replacement.
The simple truth, is that our open class is taught by a variety of
different people. Usually it is taught by Bobby and myself, but if a guest
teacher happens to be in town we are more than happy to invite them to teach
it.
At the end of June while Pablo was leaving Montreal for Europe, it
happened that Tomas was coincidentally returning, so we asked him if he
wanted to teach the Friday open class which he had actually taught during
the winter months. He accepted and taught the class for the month of July.
Pablo then gave a weekend workshop here at the end of the month after his
European trip.
We feel extremely lucky that both Pablo and Tomas travel frequently to
Montreal and are therefore able to teach here as often as they do.
sincerely,
carol (studio TANGO montreal)
