Steve Turre

Woody Shaw was an intense person and that’s why his music had that intensity. He believed in what he believed in and wasn’t scared to say it. He was 100% focused!

One of the most innovative and creative trombonists of the past quarter century, Steve Turre is our bone2pick artist of the month for February. Steve sits down with Michael to discuss all aspects of his extraordinary career including sitting in with Rahsaan Roland Kirk at the very beginning, joining Art Blakey and the all important move to NYC, the career changing hook up with the great Woody Shaw, landing the coveted Saturday Night Live gig and adding the sea shell to his solo artist arsenal. An open and inspiring discussion with a creative artist who has done it all in the world of jazz.
