Right There is primarily a straight-ahead set featuring
Steve Turre on trombone and shells in a sextet with violinist
John Blake, cellist
Akua Dixon Turre, pianist
Benny Green, bassist
Buster Williams, and drummer
Billy Higgins.
Wynton Marslis pops up on two of the seven selections, and tenor saxophonist
Benny Golson is on one. Highlights include "Woody & Bu,"
Duke Ellington's "Echoes of Harlem," "Duke's Mountain," and "Descarga De Turre," which has the leader at the helm of a Latin band that includes flutist
Dave Valentin and several percussionists. Excellent and spirited music. ~ Scott Yanow
