About Me

Hi my name is Jorge Estrada. I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico and I’ve been a musician for 28 years. I studied at the Universidad de Guadalajara’s music school and from the beginning I was attracted mainly to jazz and choral music. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to learn and play with many people that have significantly helped me along the way. I also have been to places that not even in my wildest dreams I thought I would ever be. Some of the people I’ve worked with: Kitty Margolis, Joyce Cooling, Ann Dyer, Richard Howell, Steve Baughman, Madeline Eastman, Claudia Gomez, Jimmy Haslip, John "Buddy" Conner, Sandro Albert, Marco Da Costa, Luis Conte, Sal Cracchiolo, Brandon Fields, Lisa Torres, Jimmy Branly, Federico Lechner, Giovanni Figueroa, Dan Pinson, Katisse Buckingham, Marcela Ro, Dean Taba, Don Shelton, Carlos Estrada and Alejandro Fernandez, with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working and touring with for the last 12 years. I did the soundtrack for a couple of early works by mexican filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro. I'm currently producing a Project with Don Shelton (The Singers Unlimited and The Hi-Lo's) Some of the countries I have performed are: USA, Venezuela, Turkey, Spain, Colombia and Brazil among others. Be welcomed to myspace, I hope you enjoy my music and don’t forget to write something. Hugs, Jorge.------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------Hola mi nombre es Jorge Estrada, naci en la ciudad de Guadalajara, Mexico y tengo 28 años de ser musico.
