Richard Nant: Berklee and the Group Concept
Trumpeter and percussionist Richard Nant grew up in the mountainous province of Cordoba, studied at Berklee with Guillermo Klein and Juan Cruz de Urquiza, and leads one of Buenos Aires's best and longest-running jazz groups, Argentos.

Esteban Sehinkman: The Real Book Argentina
Esteban Sehinkman is one of the great forces on the Buenos Aires scene. His Real Book Argentina has gathered compositions by 194 (and counting!) Argentine and Uruguayan musicians. His studio, Corrientes 2014, hosts underground concerts by some of the city's best musicians. He plays keyboards on Guillermo Klein's Domador de Huellas. And he leads the funktastic ...
Seca and Lucas Cutaia: The Thelonious Mystique
There are no jazz club owners in New York like Seca and Lucas Cutaia, the brother-proprietors of Thelonious. They're good businessmen; they're chummy with nearly every player on the scene; and they moonlight as rock musicians. One could be forgiven for initially mistaking them for too-hip-by-half DJ-impresarios, but the truth is that they're far more interested ...
The Real Book Argentina (Free Download)
In 2008, Argentine pianist Esteban Sehinkman undertook a grand project: he would create a “real book" of compositions by Argentine jazz musicians. Anyone who has ever played in a high school jazz combo is familiar with the American real book (or “fake book"), a collection of lead sheets for pretty much every standard you can think ...
Guillermo Klein's 2008 Cuchi Concert (Live!)
Before Guillermo Klein's Domador de Huellas: Music of Cuchi Leguizamón was a studio album (out today!), it was a commission for the Buenos Aires International Jazz Festival in October 2008. That year was the first for pianist Adrian Iaies as the festival's artistic director, and he immediately proved his worth by asking Guillermo to tackle the ...
Guillermo Klein's New Album (Plus an Exclusive Clip!)
Tomorrow, Sunnyside will release Guillermo Klein's latest album, Domador de Huellas, an inventive and powerful take on the music of the Argentine folklore legend Cuchi Leguizamón. The early reviews are stellar. The Times' Ben Ratliff lauds the way Klein transforms Cuchi's music while retaining its essence. NPR's Patrick Jarenwattananon analyzes Klein's entrancing introduction to “Coplas del ...
The Argentine Invasion, PT. 3: Juan Cruz de Urquiza
Joining Richard Nant in the trumpet section of Guillermo Klein's Base de Nave (at the Vanguard next month) will be Juan Cruz de Urquiza. JCU studied at Berklee with Klein and Nant in the early 90s, but unlike them, he returned to Buenos Aires soon after graduating. Much of the new Argentine jazz comes out of ...
The Argentine Invasion, PT. 2: Richard Nant
When Guillermo Klein plays the Village Vanguard next month, his old friend and collaborator Richard Nant will be coming along. The trumpeter/percussionist Nant has been a fixture in Klein's flagship group, Los Guachos, for as long as its been in existence; and he's also a crucial contributor to Base de Nave, the band the Vanguard will ...
Death by Audience: Smigly Plays His Heart Out
Charles Mingus's “The Clown" tells the story of a hapless entertainer who “just wanted to make people laugh" but finds himself bombing night after night at fourth-tier venues. An accidental turn into physical comedy vaults him to stardom, and he's quickly slaying big-time audiences, playing to their basest instincts. On a fateful night, the clown's need ...
Argentinos: Esteban Sehinkman 3
Argentina's World Cup team may have lost in apocalyptic fashion last Saturday (something in the sun-drenched field and a screaming Carlos Tevez seemed to augur the End of Days), but don't expect to be rid of the Argentines any time soon if you're a reader of this blog. Next month, Guillermo Klein, Pipi Piazzolla, Richard Nant, ...
