special guest Steve Turre: Jazz Musician in New York

About special guest Steve Turre

Steve Turre is a jazz trombonist whose six-decade career moves between hard bop, Latin jazz, and Afro-Cuban grooves, with an unusual parallel practice of performing on conch and other seashells. In New York City he has been a regular presence at venues including Dizzy’s Club, where he appears as a special guest for South African Freedom Day with McCoy Mrubata and Siyabulela. His work favors ensemble conversation and rhythmic drive over showmanship. The result is a sound rooted in tradition but open to vernacular color.
