MOKE SCREENS PRESENTS: THE STEVE TURRE "GENERATIONS" SEXTET FRIDAY JUNE 18 - SATURDAY JUNE 19 / STREAMED LIVE / 8PM EST Buy Streaming Pass Steve Turre (trombone & shells) Wallace Roney Jr. (trumpet) Emilio Modeste (tenor & soprano saxophones) Isaiah Thompson (piano) Corcoran Holt (bass) Orion Turre (drums) “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 Steve Turre, one of the world’s preeminent jazz innovators on both the trombone and seashells, leads his Generations Sextet in two nights of state-of-the-art livestream concerts. These performances will be available for viewing all weekend. His impressive and youthful ensemble includes trumpeter Wallace Roney Jr., saxophonist Emilio Modeste, pianist Isaiah Thompson, bassist Corcoran Holt and drummer Orion Turre, an impressive crop of emerging jazz greats. Turre’s own storied career includes work alongside music legends such as Ray Charles, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Woody Shaw, and he has consistently won both the Readers’ and Critics’ polls in JazzTimes, Downbeat, and Jazziz for Best Trombone and for Best Miscellaneous Instrumentalist (shells). 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. Downbeat says, “Few artists ‘own’ their instrument to the degree that trombonist Steve Turre does. Whether playing the music of Rahsaan Roland Kirk, performing as a member of the Saturday Night Live house band or with one of his own units, his voice is distinctive and memorable."

Jason Moran, Looks of a Lot (Yes)

Excellent album. They killed in the two sets I heard at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 2019.
