Summit is an album by Argentinean bandoneonist Astor Piazzolla and jazz saxophonist Gerry Mulligan.
[3] The album was born from the meeting, which took place in Italy in 1974, between the Argentinean bandoneon player Astor Piazzolla and the North American saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, considered among the most prominent members of the world music scene.
The fusion of the nuevo tango of Astor Piazzolla with the jazz influences of Gerry Mulligan, backed by an orchestra of Italian and Argentinian musicians, has been described as "a memorable disc of rare beauty"[4] and "a one-off event, wholly successful".
[2] Again, as with Astor Piazzolla's Libertango, the rhythm section consists of Pino Presti on electric bass and Tullio De Piscopo on drums.
[6] In Latin America the album was released as Reunión cumbre on the Argentinian label Trova[7] and (without further title) in Brazil on Pick Jazz.
