Julian Argüelles

“They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art. “  Charlie Parker

Award-winning saxophonist Julian Argüelles plays a unique mix of exciting contemporary jazz infused with Spanish rhythms, South African grooves and classical nuance. From his beginnings in the 1980s with the legendary UK big band Loose Tubes,  Argüelles has always spoken with a unique voice.

An exceptionally gifted musician, he’s been compared to sax legends Wayne Shorter and Charles Lloyd (Jazzwise), while his on-stage chemistry with Julian Argüelles Quartet has been likened to Keith Jarrett’s renowned 1970s European quartet (UKVibe).

"...Whatever the format, Arguelle's music imbues depth, complexity, sonority and above all, a musical generosity of spirit which simply electrifies the bandstand. "  Kenneth Killeen, Director, Improvised Music Company, (IE)
