In 2010, released his second solo album Jazz "EPTrío - Vol1" searching for a new role for the electric bass. Using audio effects he created a sound similar to a wind instrument played in the context of traditional jazz trio accompanied by upright bass and drums. In 2011, two of his compositions become part of the project Real Book Argentina, a collection of popular music written by Argentine authors of all generations. In 2012, he recorded his third album "Japanese Garden" with a big band he called "Pablo Elorza Orchestra". This lineup was created in late 2011 bringing together a large group of Argentine jazz artists. The compositions of the album, all originals, can be framed within the genre fusion or world music with rhythmic elements from all over the world and the improvisational flavor of jazz. In September of the same year he made the educational video "Deep Into Electric Bass Classics" analyzing Havona, the mythical theme by bassist Jaco Pastorius. Bassist and educator Jon Liebman chose it as "video of the week" in his famous digital community "For Bass Players Only".
