Leo Genovese

Leo Genovese is an Argentine jazz pianist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist known for his electrifying improvisations and genre-blurring creativity. Born in Venado Tuerto, Argentina, he honed his skills at Berklee College of Music before becoming a standout in New York’s jazz scene. A longtime collaborator with bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spalding, Genovese brings a wildly inventive energy to projects that fuse jazz with Argentine folk, electronic textures, and avant-garde experimentation. His recent releases—like the lively *Estrellero* series, the intimate *Piano Solo en Rosario*, and the collaborative *No Somos Dos: Vamo (En Vivo)*—showcase his knack for balancing technical wizardry with raw emotional spontaneity. Whether he’s diving into acoustic introspection or synth-driven grooves, Genovese’s music feels like a joyful, boundary-pushing conversation between continents and traditions.
