The Argiro Quintet

Active since: 1989

This is the second edition of the Argiro Quintet; the first having been formed in Santa Barbara, California in 1989. At that time, the emphasis was on replicating the sound of the famous George Shearing Quintet, with new arrangements and a few transcriptions from Shearing recordings. On occasion, some of Shearing’s former musicians would substitute when a permanent member was unavailable.

The current quintet’s music and musicians create an interesting mix. With leader Argiro being the eldest, there’s a wide age range represented and the varied creative musical backgrounds of each musician converge to create an eclectic approach to the music that is always innovative and exciting. Please see the personal bios for more information.
