FIVE TALENTS FOR JAZZ
La Nación (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
"Quinteto Urbano's concert at El Ateneo theatre will surely
enter the book of argentine jazz as one of the great performances
of this new wave of musicians that gather fertility in the compositions
and admirable technique. The room at its fullest provided the
ideal context for the combo to free its creative force, that
can go from dynamite to the warmest velvet in a second. The
control of nuances and colors had five excellent arquitects,
whom knew how to conform an ever changing structure yet remaining
solid". |
QUINTETO URBANO BROUGHT THE
NERVE...
La Tercera (Chile)
"Virtuosity, blood and humbleness lives together in a balanced
band, that shares the leadership and has no fear to experiment
with the unconventional. In this sense, the 8.000 people that's
been to the Balmaceda Park last night had the opportunity to
listen to the most demanding and raw music". |

A LESSON OF COLLECTIVE CREATIVITY
La Capital (Rosario, Argentina)
"With the first riffs from the horns, contrasting and energetic,
the drums exploding coupled to the firm double bass, and the
piano cooperating closely with the rhythm section, Quinteto
Urbano started his debut concert in Rosario, based on strong
colective ideas and a high level sound that demonstrated from
the very begining why this Buenos Aires group is on the vanguard
of Argentina's jazz". |

WITH JAZZ SOUL AND A LENGUAJE
OF ITS OWN
Página 12 (Argentina)
"On "La Búsqueda", the opening number,
some significant elements showed up: the textural work, the
timbrical variety (like in the drums, played with the bare hands
in a section), expressive contrasts between sections, etc. Urquiza,
Domínguez, Schissi, Delgado and Giunta are all outstanding
soloists, as they demonstrated on some group's classics like
"El Compadre" or "Malón". but, most
of all, they build with those individual voices and their inner
relationships, a totality that's more than the sum of the parts". |

JAZZ IN STATE OF MATURITY
La Nación (Argentina)
"The group exhibits the achievements of a search for personal
expression that's been taking place for three years now, and
that has produced an incredibly adjusted ensemble, not only
evident in the written parts, but also in the fast syncronicity.
They sound elegant, exciting and powerful, maintaining a clarity
of sound". |
THE BIG TIME OF LOCAL JAZZ
Infobae (Argentina)
"How could you define Quinteto Urbano's music?
J.C.U: We have a direction in the composition: music of Buenos
Aires and Argentina in general, but still keeping the jazz band
format. O.G: The group is very interactive, we function as a
normal jazz band but we don't limit ourselves to swing, we combine
it with the elements of argentinean music".

QUINTETO URBANO ARRIVES TO MONTEVIDEO
El País (Uruguay)
"The high quality of the music that will be heard tonight
at "Café El
Ciudadano" is assured judging only by the five musician's
background. All of them have been formed or specialized in the
USA, obviously the best place in the world to learn the language
of jazz". |

FIVE FOR NATIONAL JAZZ
La Nación (Argentina)
"Up to now, the group sounds like a delicated mechanism.
The rhythm section has the confidence that only many live
performances give, while trumpet and sax have both developed
seasoned and nicely contrasting sounds".
