Ezequiel Busquets
Ezequiel Busquets is a guitarist, composer, and performer based in Salt Lake City, with a focus on jazz. Originally from Argentina, he completed his BA in Music Studies with an emphasis in Jazz Guitar at Westminster University and is currently pursuing his MM in Jazz Studies at the University of Utah.
Ezequiel has also performed at institutions like NYU Steinhardt, JEN Conference, and presented research at UCLA, NCUR, UMEA, and Westminster University, exploring the cultural dynamics of Black American musicians and the role of improvisation in intercultural communication.
He has also scored a number of media projects such as the music for a short film at the prestigious 48-hour International Film Contest in Argentina where he played and recorded all the music. His latest debut project as a bandleader, Natural Things, features a blend of jazz innovation and modern composition, with a release available on all streaming platforms and vinyl.
Ezequiel's work has earned recognition, including the Unsung Hero Award. He regularly performs at venues across Salt Lake City and collaborates with local artists as a studio musician, leaving a significant mark on the area's music scene. His most recent project involves the creation of another album soon to be released, and he hopes to tour this material in Southern Utah, bringing live music to rural communities with less access to it.
