Álvaro Torres piano · Masa Kamaguchi bass · Jeff Williams drums
Álvaro Torres trio is quickly establishing itself as one of the most compelling acts in contemporary jazz in New York.
“Artfully unpredictable… Extraordinary.” — All About Jazz
Endorsed by the iconic jazz labels Sunnyside Records and Fresh Sound Records, the trio has released their fifth album, Mairena, and have performed at some of the city’s most prestigious venues, including The Jazz Gallery and Mezzrow. Their original music has also been featured at major festivals in Spain (Vitoria-Gasteiz Jazz Festival, Masimas Festival) and Mexico.
With a style that merges post-bop, free improvisation, and elements of Spanish folklore, the trio’s work has received critical acclaim. Álvaro Torres has been described as “One of the most promising future stars of the genre.” — La Razón
Torres has collaborated with true New York jazz legends such as Barry Altschul, Nasheet Waits, Francisco Mela, John Hébert, Tony Malaby, Chris Lightcap, Jeff Hirshfield and Bill McHenry.
For this performance, he is joined by legendary New York drummer Jeff Williams and Japanese bassist Masa Kamaguchi—both key figures on the European scene and deeply connected to the New York jazz world.
