All About Jazz has published my profile of Pipi Piazzolla, drummer, bandleader, and sometime shark fisherman. I saw Pipi play last night with the 18-piece Inmigrantes Big Band, and he was incredibly on point—definitely a guy who could go toe-to-toe with a lot of American jazz heavyweights.Pipi was a big help as well, in putting me in touch with Guillermo Klein (pictured), an Argentine pianist living in Barcelona and an international jazz star. Klein will be playing at the Vanguard next month with his powerful ensemble, Los Guachos, and will also be featured at the Newport Jazz Festival. I had the pleasure of talking with him last week, and an article will be forthcoming—likely pegged to Klein's New York appearance.
Right now, I have a backlog of interview material that I'll arranging into articles over the next week. "Tango Town Swing" is due to pick up some steam...
