Biography
At the dawn of the 1970s, the Argentine music scene witnessed an exceptional convergence: three leading figures of local jazz—guitarist Ricardo Lew, drummer and pianist Carlos "Pocho" Lapouble, and bassist Adalberto Cevasco—joined forces under an ambitious aesthetic premise: the creation of a jazz-rock fusion group named, with austere eloquence, El Trío. The members already boasted remarkably prestigious careers. Lew, a distinguished arranger and versatile session musician, possessed a lineage spanning from foundational beat music with Los Guantes Negros to collaborations with major figures like Billy Bond and Sandro. For his part, Lapouble arrived after leading the avant-garde Avant Garde Jazz Band and serving as orchestral director for Palito Ortega. Finally, Cevasco brought his own prestige, having played in the ranks of Gato Barbieri and Rodolfo Alchourrón. Notably, just prior to this union, Lapouble and Lew had consolidated their musical chemistry in the emblematic lineup of Quinteplus, among other milestones of vernacular jazz.By 1973, after signing a contract with the Music Hall label, the ensemble entered the studio to record eight original tracks. The production was directed by López Ruiz and featured guest vocals by Patricia Clark on selected cuts. The material was finally released in 1974 under the title Todo en su Medida y Armoniosamente—a title that paraphrased, with subtle irony, a famous maxim by Juan Domingo Perón. The work resulted in a successful synthesis of free-spirited jazz-rock, permeated by nuances of funk, soul, and folk undertones. The album was showcased on several occasions through live performances that featured pianist Gustavo Beytelman as a guest. Following this recording milestone, the three members pursued their prolific careers, consolidating themselves as pivotal figures of the national scene by collaborating with top-tier artists and developing solid individual projects.After the dissolution of the trio, Adalberto Cevasco joined fundamental ensembles such as Anacrusa and Banda Spinetta, in addition to collaborating with figures of the stature of Astor Piazzolla and Rodolfo Alchourrón. He founded Grupo Apertura, an emblem of urban fusion, and in 1988 delivered his crowning achievement, Pájaros Eléctricos. He later settled in Spain, where he continued his work as an instrumentalist, composer, and educator until his passing in 2025.For his part, Ricardo Lew gave life to Lewi's Band in 1975 and, in 1979, joined La Banda alongside Ricardo Navarro and Rubén Rada, with whom he would maintain a long-standing collaboration. His versatility led him to join the Franzetti-Lew duo, Anacrusa, and La Banda Elástica, as well as recording a celebrated tango album alongside Ligia Piro. His prestige as an arranger made him one of the most sought-after musicians in the industry, while concurrently leading his own projects, such as the Lew Quartet.Meanwhile, Carlos “Pocho” Lapouble diversified into multiple currents of jazz, joining "Chivo" Borraro’s group and collaborating with masters like Astor Piazzolla, Dino Saluzzi, and Rodolfo Mederos. His creative genius extended to soundtrack composition and teaching, leaving behind the album Dialecto as a legacy—a pillar of contemporary Argentine music; the maestro passed away in 2009.The enduring relevance of this work was reaffirmed in 2021, when the Spanish label Vampi Soul reissued it on vinyl and digital platforms. Shortly thereafter, in 2026, the Fonocal label, in a praiseworthy effort of historical preservation and with the support of INAMU, restored this material to the CD format for the local audience.
