Notes:
This further exploration of the tango form is quite slow for the most
part. The band handle the first five minutes or so like a jazz quartet but with the familiar Focus rises and falls. There are some
very attractive guitar phrases here as it somehow tells a story
without words. Just when you have forgotten the tango title, tango rhythms
break in first at 05:07-05:40 and then again at 06:08-06:42. In both
cases the piano leads, followed by organ, then drums and then flute. The old
theme soon reasserts itself (05:40-06:07 and 06:43-07:57), The whole
closes on a suitably dramatic and extended note.
