"Luna Tango" is an instrumental piece by Robin Nolan, a tango-flavoured gypsy jazz composition with no lyrics. The original recording was made by the Robin Nolan Trio and is dated 2001. It appears as track 3 on the trio's album The Latin Affair, released in 1999, which is classed as jazz with a Latin jazz style. On that release the track runs about five minutes and forty-three seconds.
Blending tango rhythms with the gypsy jazz idiom, the piece is carried entirely by the trio's playing, since it has no vocal part. Its place on an album classed as Latin jazz shows how the tango feel fits within the group's wider repertoire. The piece is a useful reference for players interested in tango-flavoured gypsy jazz, a combination the title and the album's style both point to. Few further details about the composition are documented, so this account is necessarily brief.
