Argentine saxophonist and composer Barbieri gained a piece of immortality in Latin music with his best work, this idiosyncratic, passionate soundtrack to the infamous 1973 movie. Rykodisc’s deluxe CD edition sounds as good as the original LP, and it includes a newly assembled bonus track incorporating 29 previously unreleased musical cues into a mesmerizing, half-hour suite. A uniquely uncompromising blend of tango and jazz.
