Pablo Ziegler
(born September 2, 1944) is an Argentine composer based in Buenos Aires and New York City. He is currently the leading exponent of nuevo tango, thanks to the skills and reputation he gathered while working extensively as Astor Piazzolla's regular pianist in the 1980s. His playing style, both sharply percussive and metallically lyrical, is instantly recognizable and bears some similarities to that of Vladimir Horowitz as well as some of the wistfulness of Bill Evans. As a composer he has taken Piazzolla's contrapuntal approach to tango music and added more jazz influence, notably with the regular use of a drumkit, lighter harmonies similar to those used in Bossa Nova, and extended passages of improvisation.
In 1985 Ziegler composed the music for the film Adios Roberto.
On March 21, 2009 he played in Herbst Theatre in San Francisco during performance "Tango Meets Jazz" with Nestor Torres.
His recordings with Piazzolla include most notably:
- The Central Park Concert
- Tango: Zero Hour
- La Camorra
And as bandleader:
- Asfalto: Street Tango
- Bajo Cero
