Larry Blumenfeld talks to the Argentinean pianist Guillermo Klein who recalls the time in the second half of the 1990s when he lived in New York and was able to experiment in his music (Wall Street Journal). At that time he had a Sunday night big band playing the club Small's. He performed with an 11-piece band in recent years whose musicians don't mind that they don't get a lot of room for soloing, because "from the start, Guillermo's music was radical, both rhythmically and harmonically", as the guitarist Ben Monder testifies. With his current octet Klein plays the music of Argentinean composer Gustavo Leguizamón. But there is a palpable Argentinean element in general in his music, especially in its rhythmic ideas that rely "more on the 6/8 rhythms found in the chacarera of his youth than on jazz's swinging 4/4", as Blumenfeld explains.
