After studying, writing and performing jazz all across the world with
some of the genre's top scholars, Pedro Menendez stepped out on his own
and created both the Pedro Menendez Fusion Ensemble and Peter's Songs. Combining lively,
American jazz, acoustic folk guitar and the rhythms and percussion of his home country, the
Argentinian-native has rounded his fusion style into an approachable
form of music that has an appeal outside of just traditional jazz fans.
Though he often performs with a small number of accompanying musicians,
Menendez is also a multi-instrumentalist who has no problem tackling a
set on his own, using loop pedals to layer his bass, keyboard, drums and
wind instrument parts.
