Quinteto Urbano was formed in 1999, and since then it had an uninterrupted activity in local and international venues. All members are young musicians with a wide professional experience. The quintet’s main characteristic is the combination of two elements: on one side, a jazz classic format and on the other, compositional elements of Argentine popular music. The repertoire is an all-original program in which improvisation and interplay are developed in depth, creating a very particular blend of influences. Moreover, Quinteto Urbano has achieved a personal dynamic as a group due to the regularity of live performances and the shared leadership among all five members.

In June 2000, they released their first album entitled "Quinteto Urbano – Jazz Contemporáneo Argentino", which was enthusiastically received by the critics and a big seller in the jazz category. In October 2000, the group performed at "Siete Lagos International Jazz Festival", where relevant artists such as Michael Brecker, Nicholas Payton, Dave Holland, John Patitucci and Dino Saluzzi also played.

Quinteto Urbano released in November 2001 their second album, an ambitious two CD project entitled "Jazz Contemporáneo Argentino ll (Estudio+Vivo)", which was welcomed, once more, by both the public and the specialized press.

In 2003, Quinteto Urbano performed at the International Jazz Festival of Providencia (Chile), Montevideo (Uruguay) and Terrassa (Spain), and released its third CD, "En Subida", on the european label Fresh Sound New Talent, therefore starting its international exposure.
