Pugliese = dramatic 1950s instrumentals is the typical impression. Pugliese had a long successful career and the style evolved over time. Pugliese played the piano in his orchestra in a restrained manner, and conducted the orchestra from the piano.
Pugliese played in orchestra of Pedro Maffia, former bandoneonist in Julio De Caro's orchestra. Pugliese admired De Caro very much.
