Javier Madrazo
Born:
Javier Madrazo (Buenos Aires, Argentina 1996) is a composer, arranger, and guitar player.
Having graduated from the prestigious Manuel de Falla conservatory at an early age and winning
a remarkable three jazz competitions, he turned his sights to studying under renowned Argentine
jazz musicians such as Juan Cruz de Urquiza, Mariano Loiácono, and Pepi Taveira (among
others) in order to further complete his jazz education. During this time he also traveled
frequently to New York to receive instruction from Barry Harris, Cyrus Chestnut, Mike Moreno,
Carl Allen, Yotam Silberstein and Pasquale Grasso.
He became an experienced sideman and bandleader playing for notable figures in the Buenos
Aires jazz scene such as Mariano Loiácono, Julia Moscardini, Julieta Iricibar, Sebastián
Loiácono, Malena Rampi and many others, at historic venues such as Thelonious Club, Virasoro
Bar, and the Buenos Aires Jazz Festival.
In 2021 he released his first album “Interior” alongside renowned Argentine musicians, and less
than a year later, he released his second album “Caminos”, full of original Javier Madrazo songs.
Both of these albums were acclaimed by the press, receiving positive reviews in Pagina 12,
Revista Brando and interviews with notable figures such as Victor Hugo Morales and Adrian
Puente, among others, culminating in a headline slot at the MAGNA jazz festival in La Pampa.
Javier completed his Master’s program at Queens College this past May, and he was the first
non-american jazz composer to receive ASCAP’s "Louis Armstrong” award for his compositions
and arrangements.
Javier is a strong voice in contemporary jazz as well as an experienced guitarist, bandleader and
arranger, with an extremely bright future on the international stage.
