Pedro Giraudo
Desconsuelo
CD
(PG 20578),
Released 2006;
Editor's Pick:
Part of a growing trend of New York based Latin American composers to use their jazz training to incorporate music from their homelands, Desconsuelo is a special piece of work. It’s broad, dramatic and majestic. Giraudo’s arrangements draw from early Ellington, and Gil Evans, and modern big band orchestration and work over traditional rhythms from Argentina. The band’s made up of American musicians, and they take on the music and leave it perfectly realized. There are elements of tango, and classical music and jazz; at times the music sounds like a Carla Bley project. Giraudo plays bass, but his instrument really is the band. This is modern jazz and Latin music at its best.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2006-03-28)
