GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado Over the years, the Summer of Jazz has seen all kinds of artists. But has there been a seashellist?
Maybe not.
Steve Turre and the Sanctified Shells are about to change all that.
Known as a trombonist, jazz innovator and, yes, sea-shell player, Turre draws upon a myriad of styles with his music. Hes about jazz, but there are hints of Afro-Cuban and Brazilian influences to his stuff, as well. In his long career, hes been a member of the Saturday Night Live Band and has worked with famous folks like Ray Charles and Dizzy Gillespie.
On Wednesday, he brings his bands mix of percussion, strings and shells to Two Rivers Park. The show starts at 7 p.m., and is free, like always.
