About STEVE TURRE
Trombonist and seashellist 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.
In 1972 Steve Turre's career picked up momentum when
Ray Charles hired him to go on tour. A year later
Turre's mentor Woody Shaw brought him into Art Blakey's
Jazz Messengers. After his tenure with Blakey, Turre
went on to work with a diverse list of musicians from
the jazz, Latin, and pop worlds, including Dizzy
Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, J.J. Johnson, Herbie Hancock,
Lester Bowie, Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, Van
Morrison, Pharoah Sanders, Horace Silver, Max Roach, and
Rahsaan Roland Kirk.....more
