Thomas Torstrup, a jazz pianist and organist from Stavanger, has already released a couple of recordings with up-and-coming Norwegian jazz musicians. In recent years, Torstrup has composed new material for jazz quartet resulting in his debut as a bandleader. The songs on Two Brothers were recorded in the New Tone Studio in Oslo in August 2019. The music can be characterised as melodic jazz with an original touch and a wide palette of stylistic references. His sources of inspiration range fromAmerican jazz traditions to sacred music and the world of Olivier Messiaen. Thomas also finds inspiration in sounds of nature, such as raindrops and wind, and those of children trying instruments for the first time!
