One of the world’s preeminent jazz innovators, Steve Turre has consistently topped readers and critics polls for Best Trombone and for Best Miscellaneous Instrument (sea shells.) Turre, originally from the San Francisco Bay area where he absorbed mariachi, blues and jazz, embodies the fire, soul, and adventurous spirits of three important mentors: Art Blakey, Ray Charles and Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
