Nestor Torres wins a Grammy:
Congratulations to Mr. Torres for winning a Latin Grammy for his CD This Side of Paradise. It is the most beautiful mix of grooves I've ever heard. This man makes the flute sing!

I'm addicted to this CD!:
I'm a novice flute player and a friend gave me this CD to inspire me. It just blew me away. His playing is incredible and I love the song selection also. It's the first CD I've heard by Nestor Torres, but I'm online now about to order my next one.

"master flutist sweetly melodic & rhythmic jazzman":
Nestor Torres latest release from Shanachie Entertainment ~ "This Side of Paradise", reflects his highly sense of musicianship as the premier Latino instrumentalists in the field of jazz and new age. Torres interest in composing, arranging and performance was sparked when he first started playing the flute at the age of thirteen in is hometown of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico ~ attended the Inter-American University in San German, Puerto Rico before spending time at the Berklee College of Music, the Mannes College of Music, and the New England Conservatory of Music...quite impressive background. This album blends Nestor's own techical brilliance of his style and speaks of his mastery of the classical idiom ~ which he first heard in Hubert Laws ~ completely changed his life in understanding the European classical music ~ and it shows in this remarkable performance of his own compositions...featuring guests ~ Chuck Loeb, Ed Calle and Pedro Guzman...an added plus. Want to thank ~ Danny Weiss (executive producer) and Shanachie Entertainment ~ also available on Shanachie ~ "Treasures of the Heart" (SHA-5055)...from todays supreme Latin, pop, jazz and classical genre artist ~ NESTOR TORRES! Total Time: 57:45 on 12 Tracks...Shanachie Entertainment SH-5076...(2001)
