Queens Jazz Trail Concert Series: VINCENT HERRING AND STEVE TURRE

Vincent Herring and Steve Turre unite two of jazz's most distinctive voices, blending hard-bop fire, deep swing, and fearless improvisation to honor saxophonist and composer John Coltrane who would have been 100 this year. Acclaimed saxophonist Herring has performed with legends including Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, and Freddie Hubbard, while Grammy-winning trombonist and pioneering trumpeter Turre brings Afro-Cuban and Brazilian influences shaped through collaborations with Ray Charles, McCoy Tyner, and Herbie Hancock. Together, they deliver performances filled with rhythmic energy, expressive depth, and uncompromising swing.

Presented by Kupferberg Center for the Arts, Flushing Town Hall, Louis Armstrong House Museum, and NYC Parks, as part of the 2026 Queens Jazz Trail Concert Series, inspired by the Queens Jazz Trail Map.
