Alejandro Espinosa

Alejandro Espinosa was born in 1951 in Concepción, Chile. His artistic beginnings date back to the years of the Modern Jazz Trio (1970-1976), a band headed by pianist Moncho Romero. The band appeared in a highly traditionalist Concepción scene as the most advanced of the jazz projects. In it, Espinosa played the drums with a distinctly refined west coast style. But it was not until 1972, upon listening to Elvin Jones live on stage, that his musical operations changed completely.
