Tomek Torres

About me:

HI!! My name is Tomek Torres and I'm a drummer :-) I graduated from the Music Academy in Wroclaw. Following in my father’s footsteps I began to play percussion and drums in music school in Bytom. From 1997-2005 I was a member of jazz group called Triology, mentored by American clarinet player Brad Terry. With this group we've played over 300 concerts United States, including New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, Chicago and Denver. I had an opportunity to play and jam with great American musicians like William Gallison, Tony Malaby, Jeff Williams, Aaron Goldberg, Jamey Aabersold, polish piano player Adam Makowicz, Buddy DeFranco. Everything I do in life is about music! I'm trying to play everything I can and try my skills in differeny places, different bands, music theatres, shows etc. I'm playing in 4 bands full-time: a Salsa band called Jose Torres y Salsa Tropical, our r'n'b & soul group called AFROMENTAL, jazz quartet Mid West Quartet, and our latest funky & soul project called Optimystic !!
