About event
BRIAN CHARETTE MEETS TORSTEN GOODS
«ORGAN MEETS GUITAR» «HARLEM MOODS»
FEAT: DAVID HAYNES
«Torsten and I met in Harlem, so I thought, maybe we should have a little something about Harlem in the pitch at the A-Trane. Me and Torsten as we have met each other in Harlem years ago on the Hammond B3 circuit, that was clear, that we do something together. Finally it is happening. We are going to play groovy modern funky jazz. Come out and feel the Harlem vibes at the legendary A-Trane.»

TORSTEN GOODS
Torsten Goods was born in Düsseldorf in 1980 as the son of an Irish mother and a German father. After the family moved, he grew up in Erlangen. Thanks to his mother's well-stocked record collection - alongside greats from Duke Ellington to Oscar Peterson, there was also a lot of Irish music - he found access to jazz early on. The first steps as a guitarist were, as usual, influenced by pop and rock. Goods began his serious training at the age of 14. In Peter O'Mara he found the teacher who specifically instructed him in improvised music. He was 17 years old at the time and his talent and ambition could not be overlooked, which quickly helped him to take master classes with the greats of the guild. During his school years he attended workshops with Jim Hall and John Scofield in New York and took lessons in Strasbourg with the “gypsy guitar” virtuoso Bireli Lagrene, who had a significant influence on his development.
