David Torkanowsky

DAvid Torkanowsky

AllMusic says: New Orleans pianist, part of the Crescent City's new guard. A good soloist and decent composer, who was featured a couple of years ago in Rounder series chronicling New Orleans's jazz youngbloods. Better known within the Crescent City than by the jazz audience as a whole.

Hughesy adds: Seems to be happier as a side man or collaborator rather than under the spotlight. Interesting. File under: New Orleans Piano Masters

Discography: 1988 Steppin' Out (Rounder)

In the music library: City Of Dreams: Ivory EmperorsSpring Can Really Hang You Up The Most
