Guillermo Klein August 9, 2008

Argentine pianist Guillermo Klein is known for his highly original approach to composition. He feeds off the improvisational energy of jazz, but also integrates sounds from a broad range of musical experiences. Among them are the folkloric tangos and chacareras of his native Argentina, though 20th Century European modernism, counterpoint, minimalism, drones, complex meters, children's songs, and human voices -- including his own voice -- are all featured heavily.
