Here’s a man who has made a living -- no, an art -- out of playing unplayable instruments. He has managed a kind of loose, ecstatic fluency on the trombone (a horn too often mired in either clipped precision or raucous smudgery); his résumé as a ’bone man includes stints with the likes of Ray Charles, Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Bowie and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. It was Kirk, the mystic eccentric, who inspired Turre to expand his instrumental repertoire and pick up the conch shells. In the years since, Turre has established himself not only as one of the world’s finest jazz trombonists, but also its most accomplished conch player. He has employed both instruments on his long-running “Saturday Night Live” gig, and on numerous recordings. But his latest, TNT (Trombone-N-Tenor) (Telarc), sticks to the ’bones -- and with highly satisfying results. No doubt he’ll stir it up here.
