Steve Turre Sextet at Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club

About

"Steve Turre has had a remarkable career. He played with Rahsaan Roland Kirk at the age of 20, (where Kirk introduced him to conch shells as a musical instrument) to gigs with Ray Charles, Art Blakey, Woody Shaw, Mongo Santamaria and many more. He's released over 20 albums as a leader and has been part of the Saturday Night Live house band since 1985," states ALL ABOUT JAZZ. "There are some excellent and original players on the contemporary scene [and] Turre is one of these, with his warm, soft-edged, markedly unbrassy tone," says THE GUARDIAN.
