2005 We
grabbed some good seats for the second set of Steve Turre
over at Milestones and this was a sensational show. Steve
played with Rahsaan Roland Kirk and learned how to entertain
a crowd from the master. Steve swaggered around the stage,
told a manly joke and played percussion as well as trombone.
These guys were all great players but the piano player was
the most fun to watch. Trombone is a tough lead instrument
but he clearly pulled it off. He played two conch shells
at the same time to bring the house down. And we heard he
did a completely different set at six.
