Perhaps the most ambitious of album tributes to George Gershwin on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth, Gershwin's World earns its title by encompassing not only jazz versions of key pop songs from his catalog and a version (with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra) of his Prelude in C-Sharp Minor but also reminding us of the composer's sources in everything from Ellington, W.C. Handy, and stride pianist James P. Johnson to Ravel. Those four are represented by versions of key pieces that affected Gershwin, in a bid to place his achievement in a context that is often discussed but perhaps too little listened to. This is an album that could have been a massive, pretentious failure; instead, with the likes of Wayne Shorter and a nearly unrecognizably torchy Joni Mitchell on hand, it's as close to a triumph as this type of thing reaches. --Rickey Wright

Ironically, Cubans of my generation had grown up with music and films from the native land of Che Guevara, the tenebrous Argentine "Guerrillero". Already established in NYC since 1980, my both personal and working relationships with Pablo Zinger, Carlos Franzetti, Jorge Dalto, Diego Urcola, Pablo Ziegler, Raul Jaurena, Lalo Schifrin and so many other Argentine and Uruguayan musicians make the present recording sort of the natural result of this long and happy relation. There's no better than Pablo Aslan to put together this old dream of mine of a genuine Tango Jazz recording.
