Stephen Johnson Turre (born September 12, 1948, in Omaha, Nebraska) is an American jazz trombonist and a pioneer of using seashells as instruments, a composer, arranger, and educator at the collegiate-conservatory level. For sixty years, Turre has been active in jazz, rock, and Latin jazz – in live venues, recording studios, television, and cinema production.[1][2]
He has recorded over 20 albums as a bandleader, and appeared on many more as a contributor or sideman. As a studio musician, Turre is among the most prolific living jazz trombonists in the world.[3] He has been a member of the Saturday Night Live Band since 1985.[4][5][6]
