Where Classical, Jazz And Tango Collide, Beautifully: Torch

The Seattle-based group Torch took their name from a Thomas Mann quote:  “Art is the sacred torch that must shed its merciful light into all life’s terrible depths.”  

It’s a lofty idea that they not only live up to, but also turn into fun, expressive and soul-satisfying music.

All four band members are conservatory-trained, all are music educators, and all are masterful improvisers and composers. 

Enjoy this session of original music and delightful conversation!
