Argentine-born composer-pianist Fernando Otero performed at Joe's Pub in New York City last Wednesday, celebrating the recent release of his Nonesuch debut, Página de Buenos Aires, which New York Times music critic Nate Chinen says "could be described as a heroically ambitious tango record, with a scope that reaches beyond the usual connotations of the style."

For his Joe's Pub set, Otero was joined by violinist Nick Danielson, one of the artists to perform on the record as well. And "as they prove on the new album," writes Chinen, "these musicians have an interplay with its own brand of heat and propulsion." In the live show, Chinen found the music "at its most personal and vital" on pieces like "Piringundin," which is also on the new record.

    The Staves’ new album, All Now, produced by John Congleton (Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen), is out now, marking their debut album as the duo of Jessica and Camilla Staveley-Taylor, after their sister Emily’s departure. “There was a delayed reaction to trauma and these big changes out of your control,” Jess says of the period after the February 2021 release of their album Good Woman, as the band—like everyone—was forced to sit with their thoughts. Struggling after two years of deep solitude and pain, The Staves did what they know how to do best: they got back to writing with the idea of going back to basics and focusing almost solely on each other and their guitars as a starting point.
