Guillermo Klein

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guillermo Klein (1970- ) is an Argentine pianist and composer. He graduated from Berklee School of Music in 1994, and throughout the 1990s held a residency at Small's, a jazz club in New York City. Known for his highly original harmonic and stylistic concepts, Klein has garnered much respect from the jazz community, but little commercial success. He has spent the first part of the 21st century in Argentina and Spain, though he still occasionally plays in the United States. He was commissioned by the MIT Wind Ensemble to write a piece, Solar Return Suite, his first work for wind ensemble, which was premiered on May 12, 2006. [1]

Los Guachos, Vol. 2
