You can't help but love Oscar Aleman: as a guitarist, he is dissonant, inventive & ever-playful, as a singer, he's funny & sweet; I just wish I'd been around to see him dance! If you haven't already, make it a priority to lay your hands on a lovingly-assembled 2CD set, called 'Swing Masterpieces'(not available for sale on this site), featuring a generous 52 tracks, & extensive liner-notes Also look out for "Springtime in Buenos Aires" - a tribute to Oscar Aleman on Hot Club Records.
