Focusing on Piazzolla interpreta a Piazzolla, I determined three criteria to analyze: sound, phrase structure and ornamentation.
After hearing Bajour's performance of “Decarissimo” on that album, I wished to understand his style in greater detail. Recorded in 1961, the album Piazzolla interpreta a Piazzolla, became a great turning point in tango history, establishing the quintet as the definitive formation of tango nuevo. He was best known as the original violinist of Astor Piazzolla's first quintet, though their collaboration was short-lived, including only two albums. Szymsia Bajour was one of the greatest tango violinists, but his contribution to tango is often overlooked due to a paucity of recordings.
