Mauricio Dawid

Dawid is a graduate of the Instituto Superior de Música Popular and the now- legendary jazz program of the Conservatorio Superior “Manuel de Falla”, a 100% free state funded school directed by pianist Ernesto Jodos that has revolutionized the way jazz had been taught in Buenos Aires. He also studied double bass with Hernán Merlo, Javier Dragún (Soloist of the Orquesta Filarmónica de Buenos Aires) and Jerónimo Carmona, and electric bass with Carlos Madariaga and Gustavo Giles. Internationally he has taken classes with North American double bass players John Hèbert, Mark Helias, Scott Colley, Linda Oh, Harish Raghavan and Ben Street. In 2015, Mauricio assisted as a grant-holding student to the Workshop in Jazz & Creative Music at the Banff Centre (Canada). Its program was conducted by pianist Vijay Iyer and its faculty featured Billy Hart, Wadada Leo Smith, Zakir Hussain, Mark Turner, Mat Maneri, Matt Garrison, Tyshawn Sorey and Ingrid Jensen, among others. In recent years he has played and in some cases recorded with many of the most creative argentinian jazz musicians including Ernesto Jodos, Marcelo Gutfraind, Enrique Norris, Sergio Verdinelli, Rodrigo Domínguez, Juan Pablo Arredondo, Patricio Carpossi, Eloy Michelini, Daniel “Pipi” Piazolla, Paula Shocron, Barbie Martínez, Pepi Taveira, Carlos Lastra, Pablo Bobrowicky, Guillermo Romero, Luis Nacht, Roxana Amed, Lucio Balduini and Francisco Lo Vuolo, among others. Internationally he has played with Tim Ries (USA), Jim Rotondi (USA), Jake Hertzog (USA), Robin Verheyen (Belgium), Brian Adler (USA), Elan Asch (USA), Alexis Baro (Cuba) and Tony Miceli (USA). He has toured throughout Argentina, Latin America, China and United States with musicians Ernesto Jodos, Luis Nacht and Juan Pablo Arredondo. Currently he is one of the most active bass players in Buenos Aires, and is part of the projects of Ernesto Jodos, Juan Pablo Arredondo, Sergio Verdinelli, Patricio Carpossi, Ignacio Amil, Damien Poots and Pablo Raposo. In 2013 Dawid released his first album Sonora, which got excellent reviews both in local and international journals.
