# Guillermo Klein

guillermo klein is a composer, pianist and arranger born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Klein has released numerous albums with his ensemble Los Guachos, as well as with other groups as a leader. In a 2019 profile, The New York Times wrote that Los Guachos had remained together for nearly a quarter of a century, allowing Klein to develop "a songbook unlike any other in contemporary music." An earlier Times profile by Nate Chinen described Klein's music as building "fascinating bridges between jazz, pop, classical music and the chacareras and tangos of his native Argentina," adding that "his best music also carries smart harmonic ideas and surprising bolts of lyricism, but virtually all of it deals purposefully with the subject of groove." Over the course of his career, Klein has collaborated with musicians including Liliana Herrero, Miguel Zenón, Seamus Blake, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Joshua Redman, Magos Herrera, Ambrose Akinmusire, Aaron Goldberg and more.
