Guillermo Klein
Born in Buenos Aires in 1969, Guillermo Klein is considered to be the most prestigious and world renowned Argentinian jazz artists due to his solid educational background and talent, but, above all, due to his originality.
A graduate from the prominent Berklee College of Music of Boston, he set up his first formation in that city, the Big Van, a seventeen-musician orchestra with whom performed a number of concerts and released the album Minotauro. In 1994, he moved to New York, where he held a jazz season at the Club Small’s in the city’s Village for five years along with an eleven-member band still active at present, later renamed Los Guachos, with which released the series Guachos –three albums– and the more recent Filtros. By the end of 2000 he came back to Buenos Aires and set up a nonet with, among others, “Pipi” Piazzolla, Matías Méndez and Juan Cruz de Urquiza. They released the album Una Nave, regarded by The New York Times as one of the top ten jazz albums of 2005, the year it came out in the States. Since 2002 he lives in Barcelona, where he composes and performs with his two-piano duo alongside Jorge Rossy, and also gives concerts with his septet in a small club of the city.
Despite having developed a good deal of his artistic life abroad, in Klein’s music coexist, in an amazingly harmonious way, elements of Argentinian folklore, influences of Piazzolla, Hermeto Paschoal and Wayne Shorter, of “Cuchi” Leguizamón and Ginastera, and his passion for Argentinian rock.
