Steve Turre

About

Sure, trombonist Steve Turre makes a great straight-ahead jazz player, but there’s always something in his playing that brims and pushes. In his urge to expand the very tradition of which he is a part, the expressive, tonally roving musician resembles a former mentor of his: reedman Rahsaan Roland Kirk. The former member of bands led by Art Blakey and Ray Charles performs with his own small combo.
