Release Notes:
At 26, guitarist and vocalist Torsten Goods is one
of the leading young jazz-musicians of the European
Scene. With 3 albums to date as a leader including
nominations for the "German Record CriticsÆ Award",
Torsten was one of the 10 semi-finalists in the
renowned "Thelonious Monk Guitar Competition" in
Washington, DC as well as being in the finals of
the International Jazz Competitions in Montreux,
London, Brussels and Dresden, in both categories
guitar and vocals. Add to this, countless concerts
in Europe, the US and China and Torsten has
achieved an impressive amount for a
twenty-something.
His Irish motherÆs record collection was a treasure
trove for the young Torsten Goods, spending hours
as he did listening to such jazz greats as Oscar
Peterson and Duke Ellington. The 26 year-old
Torsten was born in Dⁿsseldorf to Irish / German
parents, grew up in Erlangen, in Bavaria, and now
lives in Berlin.
After several years of piano lessons the young 14
year-old preferred the guitar sounds of Rock and
Heavy Metal. His encounter, at 17, with the
Australian jazz guitarist Peter OÆMara paved the
way for his interest in jazz, however. This was
followed by several years of intensive guitar
lessons and workshops, among others with Jim Hall
and John Scofield in New York. During this time he
had the opportunity to play with the well-known
guitarists Les Paul, Jack Wilkens, Mike Stern,
Peter Bernstein, Howard Alden and Frank Vignola, at
the same time learning a lot from them.
