absolutely nothing. i have never heard of him. and thus i look in my trusty music dictionary and to find information about this mysterious character and find...absolutely nothing. *comes back to the reality that the oxford dictionary of music is not all-knowing in music* how sad.

Definately interesting composer- seems to enjoiy combining the spanish sounds of the accordion with piano and drumset...  I hae a recording of his Adios Nonino.  It's a little strange, but it's listenable.  I listen in small doses, needless to say  :)

I remembered this composer and wanted to look up more information, and it took me all this time to realize that his name is ASTOR PIAZZOLLA. Now, you all can browse the web. He is great (if you like Tango)!
