If you even follow ears&eyes Records slightly or how the jazz scene in Buenos Aires has been explosive these past years, you would definitely know the name Ernesto Jodos. He’s one of those cats who has been teaching all young lions since they were teens. He’s been such an important influencer and has guided what Argentine jazz is today. Yes, he went to Berklee years ago, and yes, his most recent album, Confluence, features Mark Helias and Barry Altschul, but he’s taken those influences back to Argentina and transformed his take on jazz music with his own unique voice and vision. His new album, due out on August 19, is a grand culmination of this; Donde el Mundo Ocurre!
The rest of his group on this are a mix of those young lions as well as one of the most influential and important voices in not only jazz, but also rock, Latin Grammy Award winner & drummer Sergio Verdinelli (another name that shows up quite a bit in the ears&eyes catalog including well-received No Me Digas Loco (as leader), and as sideman Rodrigo Dominguez‘ Borocotopo and Juan Bayon’s Vidas Simples.
Rounding it out is Inti Sabev (clarinets), Juan Pablo Hernández (guitar) & Diana Arias (contrabass).
