Klein, Guillermo / Los Guachos - V
SKU
25-SSD-CD-1414
The fifth album by this superb, modern jazz ensemble, a band with definite Latin influences, but arranged and put together in an intriguing and avant-garde way. This is most decidedly NOT your parent's mambo album! A fantastic band of players too: Ben Monder, Miguel Zenon, Sandro Tomasi, Chris Cheek, Bill McHenry, Jeff Ballard and others! If you are any kind of a jazz fan, I feel quite safe in personally recommending this!
"For 20 years, Guillermo Klein has been creating some of the most singular and exciting music for his highly adept 11-piece ensemble, Los Guachos. His compositional style has been evolving over the years, though always utilizing elements of jazz, folkloric music of his native Argentina, rock and modern classical music. Klein s musical voice has established a number of unique composing concepts. His new recording, Guachos V, heralds his use of a new method: symmetries. To highlight this work, Klein has created two suites, Suite Indiana and Suite Jazmin, that use familiar works of the jazz canon and his own material reworked using mirroring, inversions and retrogrades of harmonies and melodies to create new compositions. Klein celebrates this anniversary by doing what he does best, presenting new, challenging, but tremendously gripping and rhythmically attractive, music."
