Standing on the shoulders of such jazz flute giants as Rampal & Galway in classical music, Richard Egues of the Cuban Charanga style and rocker Ian Anderson’s Jethro Tull, Latin Grammy Award-winning Nestor Torres’ rhythmic and mellifluous flute sound remains in a class all by itself.
Born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, Torres moved to New York City, where he pursued Classical flute studies at Mannes School of Music, Jazz at Berklee College of Music and Classical and Jazz at New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. During that time, he also learned to improvise in the ‘Charanga’ Cuban Dance Music style, which helped shape and develop Nestor’s melodic and danceable sound.
