SoulPatch Music Productions is proud to present the Portland debut of one of the world’s preeminent jazz innovators, trombonist Steve Turre.

Most people in the US, even ones not familiar with jazz, have heard and seen Steve Turre on TV—the renowned musician has been a member of the Saturday Night Live Band since 1985. However, jazz fans around the world know him as one of the music’s all-time greatest trombonists and innovators.

Raised in the Bay area, Steve Turre got his first big break in 1972 getting hired by Ray Charles. The legendary musician later appeared on Mr. Turre’s album “In the Spur of the Moment”. A year later trumpeter Woody Shaw brought him into Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. Since then Mr. Turre’s resume reads as a who’s who of jazz and pop music—from Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Pharoah Sanders, Cassandra Wilson, Herbie Hancock, Cedar Walton, Regina Carter, James Moody, the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, Wynton Marsalis, Quincy Jones, Max Roach, Horace Silver, J.J. Johnson, to Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, Chucho Valdes, to Carlos Santana, Van Morrison, Mariah Carey, Lou Rowles, Paul Simon, Joe Pesci and countless others.

He has won the critics’ and readers’ polls in JAZZIZ, JazzTimes, and Downbeat magazines numerous times, including the most recent polls in 2015. He has appeared at virtually all major concert venues around the world, and he was the opener of the star-studded International Jazz Day celebration in 2014 in Japan. Mr. Turre taught for two decades at the Manhattan School of Music and currently teaches at Julliard.

 

SoulPatch Music Productions is a local company dedicated to producing world class jazz performances in Portland.
