Murcia Turistica Believe Caravaca Murcia Whats On

July 15 Steve Turre Sextet and Buddy Whittington & Santiago Campillo at the 25th San Javier Jazz Festival

ARCHIVED ARTICLE -

A trombone legend and two electrifying blues musicians at the Parque Almansa auditorium in San Javier

STEVE TURRE is one of the most prestigious trombonists in the history of jazz. As a young man he joined percussionist Pete Escovedo's salsa band and has blended jazz with Latin music ever since, a career path which has led to collaborations with stars like Ray Charles, Art Blakey, Thad Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, J.J. Johnson, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock and Tito Puente.

Roland Kirk introduced him to the study of the instrument of seashells, an art of which he is considered the indisputable master, but he is best known as a jazz giant and a trombone virtuoso.

BUDDY WASHINGTON & SANTIAGO CAMPILLO

July 15 Steve Turre Sextet and Buddy Whittington & Santiago Campillo at the 25th San Javier Jazz Festival Two blues titans, one from Texas and the other from Murcia, share a deep passion for the guitar, the blues, good taste and elegance when interpreting the compositions of the great masters of classic blues.
