Ian Torres
Born:
Ian Torres is a Chicago-based trumpeter, composer, and producer whose music lives at the crossroads of composition and improvisation. A veteran of Chicago’s vibrant jazz scene, Torres has spent years developing a voice that blends the expressive freedom of live performance with the craft and precision of modern studio production.
After leading the Ian Torres Big Band from 2008–2014 — culminating in the release of the acclaimed album January (2013) — Torres expanded his creative vision through his personal studio, Sótano Creativo Studios, where he writes, records, and produces his projects from the ground up. His approach reflects a lifelong curiosity about sound: horns and synths converse freely, rhythm and harmony evolve organically, and every layer contributes to a sense of motion and immediacy.
