About Chris Torkewitz

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I started on the piano when I was 5 or 6, mostly studying classical music. I began playing alto-sax at 11 and picked up the tenor & flute a few years later. Around that time, my saxophone teacher played me the famous Live at Massey Hall concert.
