For those unaware, legendary trombonist and shell master Steve Turre’s brand new album SANYAS is amazingly his first live recording as a leader in landmark in a career spanning more than 50 years.

Recorded over an electrifying weekend at Smoke Jazz Club, SANYAS boasts a dream all-star band that continues the mission of Turre’s previous Smoke Sessions release, GENERATIONS, in bringing together stellar artists from multiple generations.

Turre is joined by elders in the form of the iconic rhythm section of bassist Buster Williams and drummer Lenny White; modern masters trumpeter Nicholas Payton and tenor saxophonist Ron Blake; and the rapidly rising star Isaiah J. Thompson on piano.

4. Mr. Kenyatta
5. These Foolish Things

This dutifully-hued new live recording opens on the organically-woven, yet spirited title track Sanyas and then proceeds to bring us the rousing All the Things You Are, the dulcet Wishful Thinking, the set rounding out on the impassioned Mr. Kenyatta, closing on the warm, late night embrace of These Foolish Things.

Steve Turre - trombone & shells
