Tonight Leo Genovese premieres a new group, Chupacabra, with a collection of new and old works. In his own words: “Chupacabra brings a peculiar ensemble to go deep into the hidden side of things and explore the mysteries of the unseen. Don't miss it. There may not be a second grace.”

Leo Genovese was born in Argentina in 1979 and moved to the United States in 2001. He has been traveling the world playing music for the last twenty years. He has eight albums as a leader and dozens as a sideman. He believes in music as a force of change. He practices the saxophone in hotel rooms. He doesn't support MP3 culture. He cooks pretty spicy food, like his music.

Leo has also recorded with Esperanza Spalding, George Garzone, Sara Serpa and Francisco Mela.

“By refusing to privilege one historical style over another, he strengthens his claim as a polyglot” — New York Times

“[His compositions] share an exploratory nature, whether the new terrain in question is a marriage of electronic and acoustic sounds, an unlikely use of chromatic scaling or the successful juxtaposition of otherwise disparate ideas.” — Downbeat
