Federico Lechner

Federico Lechner is an accomplished jazz pianist born in Buenos Aires in 1974 into a musical family. He began playing piano at the tender age of three, receiving early training from his mother, Lolita Lechner, a music pedagogue. Known for blending jazz with tango, he co-founded the Federico Lechner Tango & Jazz Trio in 2002, a project that merges jazz standards, classical tango repertoire, and original compositions with a fresh tango/jazz fusion feel. The trio is known for its spacious arrangements that emphasize improvisation and communication, and they have performed extensively in Spain, Argentina, and other countries, including a series of concerts in New York in 2009.

Lechner is also noted for his collaborative work, particularly with harmonica players such as Antonio Serrano. Their joint album "La Extraña Pareja" showcases a dynamic and intense musical dialogue between piano and harmonica, reflecting a deep artistic affinity. Based in Madrid, Federico Lechner continues to contribute richly to the jazz scene with a style that honors his Argentine roots while pushing creative boundaries.
