Nicolás Ledesma is one of the most notable tango pianists in the current tango scene and the conductor of his own groups. He was part of the junior band Sexteto Sur and, in 1992 he joined bandoneon player Leopoldo Federico’s orchestra, in which he still performs. He was also part of the Orquesta del Tango de Buenos Aires; was invited by Julio Pane to join his trio; and is part of Fernando Suárez Paz’s Quintet, devoted to playing Astor Piazzolla’s music. He recorded with vibraphonist Gary Burton, Japanese bandoneon player Ryota Komatsu, and took part in the award-winning production “Café de los Maestros”. He is part of projects such as Gran Orquesta TangoVía (which marked his debut as a director in 2003) and the Selección Nacional del Tango. He became known as a composer through his work as the leader of his own quartet and as a soloist, as well. In this session, held in the mythical ION recording studios, in Buenos Aires, Ledesma recorded his pieces: “Sueño de Tango” (by Ledesma-Leopoldo Federico), “De tango somos”, “Buena vida” and “Sugestivo”, specially for 10tango.
