Steve Turre Quartet - LIVE STREAMING CONCERT at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club

“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.” — Rolling Stone

One of the world’s preeminent jazz innovators on both the trombone and seashells, 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’s storied career includes work alongside music legends such as Ray Charles, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Woody Shaw. A versatile master and true jazz original, he’s equally at home on everything from swinging classic bop lines or conjuring Rahsaan over a deep groove. His youthful quartet features exciting pianist Isaiah J. Thompson, who WBGO says, “simply makes jazz people smile every time out;” Dezron Douglas, who The New Yorker calls, “a formidable bassist” for his work with artist like Louis Hayes, Ravi Coltrane, and Makaya McCraven; and his talented drumming son, Orion, who the Chicago Tribune reports, “espous(es) many of the same musical values that define his father's work: musicianship above technical display, sensitivity to color and line and, above all, acuity in responding to what everyone else on the bandstand was playing.”...

“Smoke, late to the live-streaming game, showed that waiting was worth the wait, with its inaugural online concerts. The smallest of the major clubs by capacity, the Upper West Side venue known for its intimacy in person was well recreated online, with the best sound this reviewer has (virtually) heard thus far and no less than six camera angles.” – Andrey Henkin, The New York City Jazz Record
