Néstor Torres

Néstor Torres is my kind of musician story. Picking up the flute at twelve in Mayagüez, training formally through Puerto Rico's music schools, then moving to New York with his whole family at eighteen and studying at Mannes, that is a life pointed at music from the start. The flute is a hard instrument to make the lead voice in jazz, yet he pushes it to the front and makes you listen, with that warm Latin pulse running underneath. He also has his own site and an Instagram account.
