Pablo Ziegler​ - Arranger

For decades, Buenos Aires-born, Grammy®-winning pianist, composer and arranger ​Pablo Ziegler​ has been one of the most important figures in Argentine New Tango, the vibrant musical hybrid of traditional tango, American jazz, and

European art music. After performing in tango grand-maestro Astor Piazzolla’s legendary quintet for over a decade, and appearing on iconic Piazzolla recordings including Tango: Zero Hour, La Camorra and Central Park Concert, Ziegler has led his own groups for over 25 years, refining and reimagining the bounds of the modern tango tradition.

Recent seasons have seen Ziegler performing at major venues, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center Out of Doors, Muziekgebouw, Verbier Festival, Ravinia Festival SFJAZZ, Montreal Jazz Festival, the Ottawa International Jazz Fest, Tokyo Jazz Festival, La Jolla SummerFest, Laguna Beach Music Festival, Blue Note, Birdland and many others.

Ziegler’s most recent release, 2017's ​Jazz Tango​ won the 60th Grammy® for Best Latin Jazz Album with his trio, Hector Del Curto and Claudio Ragazzi. 2013's the LATIN Grammy®-nominated ​Amsterdam Meets New Tango​, sees his quartet paired with the Netherlands’ Metropole Orkest, playing his most famous compositions re-arranged for jazz orchestra. Ziegler’s 2005 release, ​Bajo Cero​, won the LATIN Grammy® for Best Tango Album, and in 2008, his album Buenos Aires Report was nominated for the same honor. Ziegler released his first Solo Piano album by Steinway and Sons in 2018. Pablo Ziegler is a Steinway Artist and Honorary Citizen of New Orleans.
