It\u2019s something of a back-to-basics project for Turre who says, \u201cIt\u2019s the first record I\u2019ve done in a long time that really focuses on my trombone playing.\u201d It also employs an ideal foil in saxophonist Bruce Williams whose timbre on soprano and alto is a perfect match for the trombone. <em>Spiritman<\/em> features several of Turre\u2019s new compositions including \u201cTrayvon\u2019s Blues\u201d a poignant, moving, jazz tone poem; \u201cBu\u201d the record opener dedicated to his mentor Art Blakey; \u201cFunky Thing\u201d written for the Saturday Night Live Band; and \u201cNangadef\u201d written for Senegalese percussionist Abdou Mboup and featuring Chembo Corniel on congas. His spirited rendition of Miles Davis\u2019 \u201cAll Blues\u201d begins with his own mystical \u201cSpiritman\u201c played on shells. It\u2019s a piece he performed to open the UN\u2019s International Jazz Day concert in Osaka, Japan in 2014. This \u201cAll Blues\u201d introduction is also the first recording of a newly developed technique where Turre plays into a piano with the pedal down and the strings open. The shell\u2019s sound vibrates the open strings creating an ethereal, mystical, but acoustic sound. The rest of the band, Xavier Davis, Gerald Cannon, and Willie Jones III, know just what Turre wants and needs from a rhythm section and they help deliver this unforgettable music that also includes swinging standards and classic ballads. It\u2019s music designed to make you feel better. As Turre explains in his thoughts about this recording and music in general, \u201cMusic is about giving and about searching. Without spirit, music is just notes.\u201d It\u2019s a philosophy of life and music that continues to produce inspired results. <em>Spiritman<\/em> is available for purchase as an 8-panel deluxe CD album complete with 2,000-word artist interview and additional photos, as a Mastered for iTunes download with digital booklet, or as an audiophile 96khz\/24bit digital download.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STEVE TURRE, ONE OF THE WORLD\u2019S PREEMINENT JAZZ INNOVATORS\u00a0releases, Spiritman, his debut recording for Smoke Sessions Records.
