Tango: Zero Hour (Nuevo Tango: Hora Cero in Spanish [often erroneously Hora Zero]) is an album by Ástor Piazzolla and his Quinteto Nuevo Tango (in English: New Tango Quintet, often loosely referred to as his second quintet). It was released in September 1986 on American Clavé, and re-released on Pangaea Records in 1988.[2]
Piazzolla considered this his greatest album.[3][4][5] Rolling Stone commented on the Pangaea reissue of the album, comparing Piazzolla's fusion of form, improvisation, and dynamics to contemporary classical music, jazz, and rock & roll, respectively.[6] Robert Christgau of The Village Voice also commented on Piazzolla's fusion of classical and jazz music.[5]
