Best Latin Jazz Drum Kit Player of 2008: Hugo Alcazar
Peruvian Drummer Hugo Alcazar has been on the forefront of the mixture between jazz and traditional Peruvian music, combining his extensive experience with both styles. He grew up in Lima, Peru, jumping into drum studies at the young age of seven. He began his professional career by the time he was 19, and moved right into the National Conservatory of Music.

At the same time, Alcazar maintained a focus upon traditional Peruvian music, studying cajon with Juan “Cotito” Medrano, Leonardo “Gigio” Parodi and Freddy “Huevito” Lobatón. In Peru, Alcazar has recorded extensively with Latin Jazz flautist Cesar Peredo, taking part in the 1999 release Despertando, the 2000 recording Pensamento, the 2004 album Cosas de Negro, and the 2007 release Mas Calientes Que Nunca.

The word of Alcazar’s talents has spread, and he has performed with a number of jazz musicians from the States, both in Peru and abroad. The list of musicians that have utilized his talents include the Maria Schneider Orchestra, Bobby Shew, Ingrid Jensen, Mark Levine, and Geoffrey Keezer.

His work with trumpeter Gabriel Alegria’s Afro-Peruvian Jazz Sextet has really allowed Alcazar to spread his talents on a world stage. His playing on Alegria’s 2008 release Nuevo Mundo effortlessly moves between burning swing and intensive Afro-Peruvian rhythms, showing the natural relation between the two styles. As the group prepares for a 2009 tour, we’ll hope to hear more fantastic playing from Alcazar!
