Po śmierci Astora Piazzoli w 1992 roku Dino Saluzzi zajął jego miejsce - nestora i autorytetu 'nuevo tango'. Ten blisko 70-letni dziś muzyk jest prawdziwym ambasadorem argentyńskiej muzyki na świecie. Od szeregu lat współpracuje z wybitnymi muzykami światowego jazzu i world-music. Łączy w swej muzyce tradycyjne melodie tanga i harmonie jazzu. Jego kompozycje na płycie 'Rios' są pełne wyrazu, głębokiej i szczerej uczuciowości, tak charakterystycznej dla latynoskiego klimatu, a zarazem wypełnione jazzowym napięciem. Niezwykła, nie dająca się z niczym porównać, hipnotyzująca muzyka.

Because Dino Saluzzi is an Argentine who plays the bandoneon, it is inevitable to compare him to Astor Piazolla. This comparison is unfair, however, because if Saluzzi is playing tango, it is so abstracted and transformed that we may as well just call it jazz. If a better comparison is sought it would be to another international jazz musician like Renaud Garcia-Fons.
On Rios, Saluzzi plays with American bassist Anthony Cox and American vibist and arranger David Friedman, a musician who's run the gamut from Yoko Ono to Disney soundtracks. Together they play an assortment of tunes by members of the group, about half of them Saluzzi's, plus the one cover "My One and Only Love." The numbers are thoughtful but not flashy. Friedman's "Penta y Uno" is largely a deconstruction of bossa nova and tango, featuring percussion as well as vibes. Cox's "Jad" uses weird effects from the instruments and the occasional Arabic motif to build up to a subdued bop frenzy. Other tracks are more straight-ahead combinations of the primary instruments.
This is music for the patient and thoughtful listener. Competent but not destined to be a classic.
by Kurt Keefner

"Here is music that is so deeply affecting that it's as if it is coming from inside the listener. Enchanting, spirited, it is music of uncommon depth - beautiful and subtly exciting. The music's superior quality comes in equal parts from the players, the instrumentation and the compositions."
by Bob Protzman, The St. Paul Pioneer-Press

"One of the most beautiful albums of 1995."
