Saxophone Quartet

Venezuelan-born Aldemaro Romero is credited with creating a new musical genre, the “Ondo Nuevo,” a combination of Venezuelan fandango and Brazilian bossa nova. In his Saxophone Quartet, the exuberant Fandango movement features kaleidoscopic harmonies over a driving rhythmic pulse, while in the joyous and virtuosic Choro Y Tango, each horn gets a chance to shine.
