Person
José Basso
José Basso, also known as Pepe, was a pianist born in Pergamino on 30 January 1919 who died in Buenos Aires on 14 August 1993 [1][2]. He played in the orchestra of Aníbal Troilo during the 1940s, though sources differ on the exact dates of his tenure [3][4].
José Basso was a pianist, also known by the name Pepe [1]. He was born on 30 January 1919 in Pergamino [1].
Basso is documented as a member of the orchestra of Aníbal Troilo in the 1940s [3][4]. Sources differ on when this membership began and ended. One biography states that he joined in September 1943, with the period running to 1947 [3], while a chronicle of the orchestra places him there from 1945 to 1946 [4].
Basso died on 14 August 1993 [1]. A separate source records that he died in Buenos Aires [2].
Biography
José Basso, known as Pepe, was born in Pergamino on 30 January 1919 [1]. His instrument was the piano [1].
He died on 14 August 1993 [1], in Buenos Aires [2].
With Aníbal Troilo
Basso played piano in the orchestra of Aníbal Troilo [1][3][4]. A biography states that "en septiembre de 1943, se incorporó a las filas de Pichuco" (in September 1943 he joined Pichuco's ranks), and gives his time with the orchestra as running from September 1943 to 1947 [3].
A chronicle of the Orquesta Típica Aníbal Troilo gives a shorter period for his membership, from 1945 to 1946 [4]. The sources therefore differ on the dates of his time with the orchestra, and this article does not choose between them [3][4].
