Carlos Ferreyra

Carlos Ferreyra is a Woodwind specialist based in Kansas City, MO, and has brought his versatile musicianship to audiences in the KC area since 2010. With a broad interest in traditions ranging from classical European and Indian to funk and the folk music of his native Uruguay, Carlos finds his most personal expression in jazz. Drawing inspiration from the great standards of Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Miles Davis, he has honed his craft while residing in Kansas City and New Orleans, two pillars of jazz history and tradition, through studies at Missouri Western State University, and internationally during a residence in Spain.

He blends these sounds into a contemporary style and remains an active performer. Current and past projects include the Ferreyra & Wray Jazz Duo, Troy Sawyer and the Elements, Bate Bunda, Quattro Sonic, Gas Station Boudin, The Souveneers, Bard Eclectic, Jeff Lux & Friends, and Indigo Jazz. He has shared playbills with performers such as Brandon Jenkins, Mike Dillon, Flogging Molly, Three Blind Mice, Split Lip Rayfield, and Mountain Sprout
