Guillermo Klein -][- CARRERA –Mp3– [Sunnyside, 2012] –

Acclaimed musical polyglot Guillermo Klein continues to astound listeners with his unique conception of modern music, a unique blend of sounds from a multitude of influences including popular, modern classical, tango and jazz. On his new recording Carrera (May 8, 2012), Klein returns with his devoted Los Guachos as they prove that they are one of the most diverse and capable ensembles performing today. The eclectic repertoire on the album includes original compositions by Klein and members of Los Guachos along with arrangements of pieces written by famed Argentine composers Juan Carlos Cobián and Alberto Ginastera.

AARON GOLDBERG & GUILLERMO KELIN - BIENESTAN

“Selfless in all the right ways. Doesn’t set out to demonstrate virtuosity, speed, or heat, though all three are at his disposal. He’s versatile and impressive, and he swings hard.” – The New York Times

“One of the great pleasures of following today’s jazz lies in introducing people to the music of Argentine composer and pianist Guillermo Klein…a new breed of Latin jazz, the seamless mix of folkloric forms and jazz instrumentation and whatever classical
or pop influences come to mind.” – National Public Radio

FROM BIENESTAN: “BURRITO” & “ANITA”

Two creative forces and fellow Sunnyside recording artists – gifted pianist Aaron Goldberg and the brilliant and enigmatic composer-arranger Guillermo Klein – join together for a collection of potent originals and provocative interpretations of jazz standards on Bienestan. A collaboration in the truest sense, this followup to Goldberg’s acclaimed 2010 trio outing, Home, and Klein’s stunning 2010 recording, Domador de Huellas: Music of “Cuchi” Leguizamon, has Goldberg and Klein paired on acoustic piano and Fender Rhodes electric piano, respectively, accompanied by the stellar rhythm tandem of bassist Matt Penman and Goldberg’s longtime drummer Eric Harland. Special guests Miguel Zenón on alto sax and Chris Cheek on tenor and soprano saxes augment the proceedings on five tracks.
