A studioband-version of this song was used as the themesong for a swedish talkshow in t he 70`s. It´s great to hear the original.

Twardzik's work is related to the Monk 'school' of pianists!! Loved this!!

[charlesbillante]

A personal favorite of mine- haunting melody! Hard to think of it as incidental.

[staffanlindstrom]

The album cover painting complements the music perfectly. Both are great.

[carolynzaremba]

I just heard of him for the first time from a friend.

[juanguillermopereirav-pian]

Un excelente pianista desconocido del Jazz muerto prematuramente.

From above: "" 'The Yellow Tango' was written as incidental music for a Shake-dance." - Dick Twardzik

This was said tongue in cheek.

Miriam, I love you, still, after all these still play chess. Thank you for everything.

Twardzik always reminds me the style of Herbie Nichols on piano

[stephenpardys]

Unique talent lost in its creative infancy due to drug addiction. Thank you Chet Baker for your assistance.
