THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU

One of the most energetic and visceral voices in jazz, trombone master Steve Turre delivers a surprising set of (mostly) lush ballads accompanied by a superb all-star band and inspiring strings. Backed by pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Willie Jones III, Turre welcomes special guests George Coleman for two songs on tenor saxophone and Russell Malone for four songs on guitar. A string octet, arranged and conducted by Marty Sheller, adds an almost indescribable beauty to four tracks. This album--with two NEA Jazz Masters, string octet, classic ballads and soulful guitar is truly a historic recording and brings out the very best from the incomparable Steve Turre.??Tracklist?Disc 1?The Very Thought of You?September in the Rain?No Regrets?Carolyn (in the Morning?Never Let Me Go?Disc 2?Sachiko?Freedom Park, SA?The Shadow of Your Smile?Time Will Tell?Yardbird Suite?Danny Boy
