Barcelona-born and Brooklyn-based Alexis Cuadrado is an award-winning composer, producer, bandleader, bassist and educator. He has become one of the most sought-after musicians in the New York scene. NPR music says: “Listen to Cuadrado’s compositions and you’ll find every reason to take him seriously.” NY magazine: "His intricate and sharply defined compositions show that he’s tapped into something much deeper."

Cuadrado's work draws from the crossover of jazz, world, flamenco and new music, exploring the confluence of the Hispanic and American cultures, as well as embracing a deep commitment to comment on social issues. His recent output is a restless exploration of cross-disciplinary works that embrace poetry, film, radio-podcasts, dance and design.

His main outlet for creative work is his own ensemble, the Alexis Cuadrado Group, for which he’s written a plethora of commissioned pieces. Recent work include the live short film scores of pioneer female filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché’s The Consequences of Feminism and Algie the Miner (2020), Harold M.Shaw’s The Land Beyond the Sunset (2020) and Lois Weber’s 1916 feature film Shoes (2018) which premiered at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Other works include Poètica (2014) a collaboration with poets Rowan Ricardo Phillips and Melcion Mateu; Jazz Miniatures for Double Quartet (2012) featuring a jazz and a string quartet; A Lorca Soundscape (2011) featuring Claudia Acuña and Miguel Zenón, in which he adapted the poetry of the legendary Spanish author Federico García Lorca; and Noneto Ibérico (2009) a nine-part Flamenco-Jazz Suite for nine musicians featuring Avishai Cohen, Perico Sambeat and Israel Suarez “Piraña”.
