Pedro Giraudo Sextet November 30, 2010

Originally from Cordoba Argentina, Pedro Giraudo moved to New York City in 1996. A highly versatile and hard working bassist, he is an in-demand player performing in a wide variety of musical projects, both his own and as a member of several prominent ensembles, ranging from tango to jazz. As a composer and arranger, Giraudo leads his 13-piece ensemble, the Pedro Giraudo Jazz Orchestra, and has been hailed by critics as one of the most creative and daring bandleaders on the scene today. His compositions combine his love of classical forms, Argentine tango and folk music, and the spontaneity of jazz improvisation, and the band boasts some of New York's finest jazz musicians. His new project is a pared-down version of the Orchestra.
