Torsten Goods is one of Germany’s most successful jazz guitarists and jazz-pop/soul singers, with the German/Irish musician winning several awards in his home territory for a series of albums released on the ACT label. He was once reviewed by the Evening Standard as having “talent galore.

Inspired by George Benson, he sings winningly and plays the guitar superbly”, while he currently sits on the latest Jazz FM playlist with a brand new track from ‘Soul Searching’, his wonderful and very personal new album. Eight long years of soul searching have culminated in what is Goods’ seventh full-length record, but also an album that can be seen as a new beginning. Although containing feelgood music influenced by Jazz, Soul, Blues and ‘70s Westcoast/AOR sounds – not to mention a number of star turns by feel-good guest musicians/friends – lyrically it tells the story of his recent visual transformation brought about by the autoimmune disorder Alopecia. Thankfully, the now 42 year-old musician is otherwise healthy, but the disease has been a source of immense emotional stress; becoming accustomed to his hairless appearance is a central theme of the album, as evidenced by songs such as ‘Naked Funk’ and ‘I Had To Learn Not To Care’.Goods wrote the latter track with the hugely successful German pop singer Sarah Connor.
