Torben Westergaard

Born: October 9, 1960

MUSICIAN, COMPOSER, MUSIC TEACHER EDUCATOR

Music connects us with our feelings and brings us closer as human beings. It is the most meaningful activity I can engage in and have pursued it for over 40 years. As a musician and composer, I am interested in exploring music broadly, creatively, and mindfully, using the moment as my starting point. I have released 20 albums of my compositions, two of which were nominated for a DMA in jazz in 2013 and 2014. Music has taken me to more than 20 countries, and I have composed for various ensembles, TV series, documentaries, and commercials. Between 2011 and 2014, I had the privilege of serving as the musical director for the legendary Danish singer-songwriter and film director Søren Kragh-Jacobsen.

Torben Westergaard is nothing if not restless. Latin music has been the most defining element of his career to date, though explorations such as his Tangofied series have also happily bridged music and musicians of South America with those of his native Europe. This album's immediate predecessor, Heart Tunes (self-produced, 2018), made an unexpected detour into ...

Torben Westergaard: Heart Tunes

December 3, 2018

Though Denmark may serve as a home base, Torben Westergaard's musical home can be anywhere new songs and ideas take him. The bassist was figuratively reaching halfway around the world as far back as Brazilian Heart (Self Produced, 1996). Argentina became an unexpectedly prominent touchstone, as the exploratory Tangofied (Point of Departure, 2013) grew into a ...

Torben Westergaard: Tangofied III

by Geno Thackara
May 13, 2017

For the finale of his globe-spanning triptych (an unplanned endeavor that unexpectedly grew from the first installment's success), bassist Torben Westergaard considers himself to be making very much a return home. After the expanded cross-national lineup and largely Argentinian focus of Tangofied II (Gateway Music, 2014), he returned to his native Denmark to record only with ...
