Look in the back left corner of your screen during the opening minutes of NBC’s Saturday Night Live and you may catch a glimpse of trombonist/composer Steve Turre. We’re bringing his jazz sextet front and center showcasing why Steve is one of the ultimate masters of the trombone and undeniably the best person you will ever hear play a conch shell.
