Ensamble Real Book Argentina's biography |  Argentina

Biography

Real Book Argentina is a project aimed at compiling and sharing the music written by diverse composers who fall within the very broad stylistic borders of Argentine jazz. Hundreds of scores, biographies and even a record ( Real Book Argentina, volume 1) are available for free download at its website. The project, an initiative by pianist and composer Esteban Sehinkman, is in tune with one of the Festival’s aims – to encourage the exchange of compositions and arrangements between fully active colleagues.

For this reason, the BAJ.10 supported the creation of the Ensamble Real Book, a band specially put together to perform these pieces. The ensemble is composed of Daniel “Pipi” Piazzolla (drums), Mariano Sivori (bass), Alan Plachta (guitar and arrangements), Diego Schissi (piano and arrangements), Gustavo Musso (tenor

sax and clarinet), Bernardo Monk (alto sax, flute and arrangements), Richard Nant (trumpet and flugel), Cirilo Fernández (keyboards and arrangements), Juan “Pollo”

Raffo (melodica and arrangements), Nicolás Sorín (vocals and arrangements), Esteban Sehinkman (keyboards), Guillermo Klein, Daniel Camelo, Ramiro Flores and Nicolás Guerschberg (arrangements). The band recorded their first album in 2011.
