George Benson says “Diego is one of the greatest guitarists I’ve seen in my whole life.”
Guitar World magazine wrote “Next up was a true virtuoso, jazz guitarist Diego Figueiredo. Yes, we were all mesmerized by his amazing head of hair. But it was his incredibly fluid and natural performance style, his sense of true enjoyment as he dazzled us and his good-natured entertaining approach that truly grabbed us. Wow. I don’t even know what else to say. Seemingly effortless and thoroughly fabulous.”
“His musicianship - his blend of Brazilian bossa and samba tradition with classical guitar technique and jazz imagination - is utterly original and, despite years of conservatory education, remains essentially instinctual.” Allen Morrisson / DownBeat
Diego has recorded and performed with Brazil’s biggest stars including Gilberto Gil, João Bosco, Roberto Menescal, Toquinho, Fafá de Belém, Angela Maria, Toninho Horta, and several years touring the world accompanying Brazil’s beloved composer and vocalist, Belchior.
For the last ten years, Diego has spent large swarths of time in North America, performing solo and in duos with the likes of Larry Coryell, Ken Peplowski, John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton, Chuchito Valdes, Stanley Jordan and Cyrille Aimée.
Diego and Cyrille Aimée toured heavily together from 2011 – 2015. Each artist has guested several times on each other’s albums, culminating in Cyrille’s 2019 Sondheim inspired album, “Move On”, which earned each of them a Grammy Nomination for “Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals”.
Diego's previous album, "Follow the Signs," was in the Top 50 for an amazing 19 weeks on jazz radio throughout the USA. It is now being featured on Sirius/XM.
