Rodrigo Dominguez is today the most in demand saxophonist in buenos aires'
new jazz scene. you will hear his powerful tone in most of the argentine
jazz records of the last few years.
born in 1970, he started studying guitar at age 13, mostly influenced by
his father, an amateur folklore singer and guitarist. his early interest in
the musical roots of his homeland provided him with a deep understanding of
the traditional rhythms and forms, which was to be revealed in his later
work in a subtle and profound way.
later on, at age 17, shocked by a wayne shorter concert in buenos aires,
he swithced to tenor sax and whithin a couple of years he was already playing around with some of the most important musicians of the time, like mono fontana, juan cruz urquiza, carlos lastra, hernan merlo, etc.
after studying with some of the most prestigious teachers in town, he
won a scolarship to attend berklee college of music in boston, where he'd
finally go in '98. there he studied with jerry bergonzi, Hal Crook,
Greg Hopkins y Ed Tomassi, and in ny with Chris Cheek.
he also attended to private lessons, masterclasses and jam sessions with
artists such as Walt Weiskopft, Ralph Lalama, Chris Potter, Perico Sambeat,
Branford and Wynton Marsalis, Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Phil Markowitz, Marc Copland, Tony Malaby, Chris Potter, etc. when he returned to buenos aires, toghether with trumpet player juan cruz urquiza and drummer oscar giunta, he founded Quinteto Urbano, one of the leading groups in the new argentinean breed, combining a typical jazz instrumentation and language with the elements of argentinean musical tradition. he also lived in brazil, where he grasped the flavor of their rich musical heritage directly from some great brazilian artists he studied and worked with.ever since he came back, he's been also working as a sideman with the most renowned artists in the scene, demonstrating a high degree of versatility and sensitiveness, yet remaining strongly personal. he recorded and toured extensively in america and europe with different projects involving musicians from all around the world. besides that, he leads his own projects like his quintet and his organ trio.his style combines the tradition of the great tenors with the rhithmic and melodic flavor of tango and folklore, and an growing interest in expanding the boundaries of improvisation.
he also works as a teacher in the main jazz school in buenos aires, attended by musicians from all around southamerica. this endeavour earned him an important place in theprocess of growing and nurturing the contemporary jazz scene.
