"Lost in Your Eyes is the big surprise CD of the year. This project is obviously a labor of love. All this to pay tribute to a song writing team you may have never heard of, Hugo Wainzinger and Ken McKenzie. You'll remember them now."
- Mal Sharpe

Bio

Hugo Wainzinger is a composer, guitarist, and arranger.
Born in Argentina, he was exposed to a wide variety of music since childhood. He absorbed many musical styles, making him uncommonly versatile as an arranger, largely through the influence of his mother, a passionate bolero singer.
A prolific composer as well as a wide-ranging performer, he spans the spectrum from classical to jazz to contemporary and world music. Frequently performing as a soloist, he also plays with both Latin and American artists at various Bay Area venues and festivals including the San Francisco Jazz Festival.
