“It’s the group sound that’s important, even when you’re playing a solo. You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That’s jazz.” -

"The jazz world needs more Steve Turres. A powerful technician with a soulful tone and quick wit, Turre is perhaps the leading trombonist of this generation. Turre also wails on his self-designed conch shells, making robust sound that can be both eerie and serene." - Rolling Stone  Steve Turre © Anndrea Canter
One of the world's preeminent jazz innovators, trombonist and seashellist Steve Turre, will appear at the Jazz Showscase on Thursday, June 6th trough Sunday, June 9th with sets and 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. nightly and a 4:00 p.m. show on Sunday. Steve Turre has consistently won both the Readers' and Critics' polls in JazzTimes, Downbeat, and Jazziz for Best Trombone and for Best Miscellaneous Instrumentalist (shells). Turre was born to Mexican-American parents and grew up in the San Francisco Bay area where he absorbed daily doses of mariachi, blues and jazz. While attending Sacramento State University, he joined the Escovedo Brothers salsa band, which began his career-long involvement with that genre. |
