David Torkanowsky

A New Orleans pianist and part of the Crescent City's new guard. Things just seem to sizzle when piano player David Torkanowsky is around. Perhaps it is his dramatic, dark looks, the gift of a German composer father and a flamenco dancer mother. Perhaps it is just his raw talent coupled with experience in the clubs of New Orleans.

An amazing soloist and phenominal composer, who was featured a couple of years ago in Rounder series chronicling New Orleans's jazz young bloods. He has appeared on numerous jazz cds by various artists. His cd Steppin’ Out was released in 1998.
