Torso is Louis Selvitella and Lee Leffler, two members of the Boston music scene who began making new music in 2004. Combining fretless bass and classical guitar with electronic sounds, torso's music incorporates styles as varied as Coltrane era jazz to electronic soul, post punk and more.

Taxi.com, describes Torso's sound as "Super cool music... Downtempo jazz (with a real legitimate jazz flavor and playing) ala Izit meets Miles".

"Preconceived ideas's aren't allowed", says Lee. "We like the challenge of creating music spontaneously".

Torso has already enjoyed airplay on one of the internet's largest lounge and nu jazz radio stations, lounge-radio.com, with self-released tracks. Several tracks also landed in lounge and elctronic top ten categories on broadjam.com.

There is some nice melodic and funky stuff here - just about everything has a mysterious quality that is hard to pin down but is so appealing...a bit of exotica, Eastern music influence, lounge, and minor keys. It's a late night sort of feel with a lot of bongos and a cool title that's well worth a listen.
