"The jazz world needs more Steve Turres. A powerful technician with a soulful tone and quick wit, Turre is perhaps the leading trombonist of this generation. Turre also wails on the conch shells, making robust sound that can be both eerie and serene." (Rolling Stone)

Fresh from being named the #1 trombonist in the 54th Annual Downbeat Critic’s Poll, Steve Turre has assembled an ensemble of extremely wide dynamic range and diversity for his second HighNote recording. Rudy Van Gelder was the natural choice to record the kaleidoscopic tone colors of the band and vividly bring Steve’s musical vision to life. With Steve on trombone and shells, the vibes of Stefon Harris and Akua Dixon on the rarely-heard baritone violin, KEEP SEARCHIN’ is destined to be one of the most interesting and talked-about jazz records of 2006.
With Steve Turre (trombone, shells), Stefon Harris (vibes), Akua Dixon (baritone violin), Xavier Davis (piano), Dion Parson (drums), Gerald Cannon/Peter Washington (bass.)
