Originally from Córdoba Argentina, Pedro Giraudo moved to New York City in 1996. A highly versatile bassist, he has become an in-demand player performing in a wide variety of musical projects, both his own and as a member of several prominent ensembles, ranging from tango to jazz.

As a composer and arranger, Giraudo leads his 13-piece ensemble, the Pedro Giraudo Jazz Orchestra, and has been hailed by critics as one of the most creative and daring bandleaders on the scene today. His compositions combine his love of classical forms, Argentine tango and folk music, and the spontaneity of jazz improvisation, and the band boasts some of New York´s finest jazz musicians. His discography includes "Destiny of Flowers" (2000), "Mr Vivo" (2002), "Desconsuelo" (2005) and the most recent, "El Viaje", which was voted "2009 Latin Jazz Album Of The Year", and "2009 Latin Jazz Large Ensemble Album Of The Year", as well as "2009 Latin Jazz Composition" for Giraudo's "El Bajonazo".
John Murph of Downbeat described it as "an opulent listening experience of modern, orchestral jazz, brimming with passionate improvisations, deliberate contrapuntal melodies and plush harmonies."

In 2008, Giraudo was awarded a composer's commission through the Jazz Gallery in New York, for new work for his large ensemble; the resulting suite will be the centerpiece of his next album to be recorded in Spring of 2009.

The band has performed regularly in the most prestigious jazz clubs in the New York City area, including the Jazz Standard, Birdland, the Jazz Gallery, Joe´s Pub, as well as abroad.
