Carlos Inzillo

Inzillo learned solfège and music theory from well-known Argentine Tango pianist Horacio Salgán during this interim, and mastered the clarinet.

[1] Elections in 1983 resulted in Inzillo's appointment as communications director for the General San Martín Theatre, the most important of its kind in Argentina.

[1] Jazzología attracted both local and international vocalists and musicians over the next two decades, including Betty Carter, Pierre Dørge and his New Jungle Orchestra, Conrad Herwig, Sandra Mihanovich, Karlheinz Miklin, and Chuck Wayne, among many others.

Organized annually by Inzillo with but one interruption (in 2007, for the center's refurbishment), the festival attracted over a million spectators in all, and his promotion of jazz in Argentina earned him a distinction as Honorary Citizen of the genre's birthplace, New Orleans, in 1985.

Inzillo was bestowed a Konex Award, the highest in the Argentine cultural realm, in 2005,[1] and directed the Standards program for the 2008 Buenos Aires Jazz Festival.
