Drop Dogs's biography | Argentina

Drop Dogs is an original music and free improvisation project that was born in 2010

from the friendship and musical affinity between Rodrigo Domínguez (clarinet) and

Hernán Hecht (later). Later on, Mark Helias (double bass) joined the band for a tour in

Mexico. As a trio, Drop Dogs has performed at diverse Mexican jazz festivals in Morelia

and Zacatecas and at various jazz clubs all across Mexico. In 2011, the trio was invited

to repeat the tour, which resulted in the recording of their first album, Drop Dogs, to

be released soon in Argentina on S’Jazz. This first studio album features some pieces

by Mark Helias – including one specially written for the trio – and some by Rodrigo

Domínguez, in addition to a free improvisation. They will play the material from this

record in this edition of the BAJ. For next year, the trio has already scheduled a new tour

in Mexico that will extend to the United States and countries in Europe.
