Steve Turre: TNT
Turre’s sophomore effort for Telarc is a stripped down affair in the “horns and rhythm section” mold with a concept at play in regard to charts that serve as homage to a few guiding elders. Three different quartets are on board with tenor men James Carter, Dewey Redman, and David Sanchez as part of the mix. But unlike the more far ranging implications of his Verve sides of recent vintage, there’s a sense of blandness here that is oddly conspicuous. Even the wildly animated Carter seems reigned in by a muted conservatism. While the Latin tinge added to “Puente of Soul” and “Dewey’s Dance” helps to stoke the coals, this set is just a bit too polite for its own good.
