In 1968, Turre played with Rahsaan Roland Kirk; in 1970 he recorded with Carlos Santana; and in 1972 he toured with Ray Charles. He has been the trombonist for the ''Saturday Night Live'' band since 1985 and has taught jazz trombone at the Manhattan School of Music since 1988.
For years (since 1970), Turre has been an exponent of seashells – conch in particular – as serious musical instruments.〔 According to Turre, Kirk encouraged him when he began experimenting. Turre has a collection of shells of various sizes, most of which picked up by him during his travels in the Caribbean and elsewhere. The shells have their mouthpieces carefully cut and are tuned to specific pitches. When playing them as a soloist he frequently switches between shells, as each is limited in its register (the smallest shells, for example, have a practical register of only a fifth). His largest shell, from the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, has a range between the D and E below middle C, and was painted by a Cuban artist. Turre also leads "Sanctified Shells," which is a "shell choir" made up of brass players who double on seashell (using shells from Turre's collection, which he loans out for rehearsals and performances). The group released its first, eponymous album in 1993.〔〔〔〔 Turre has had a long experience with Latin jazz, and is also a skilled player of the cowbell and Venezuelan maracas.
Turre has been a member of the Juilliard faculty for years – since 2008, and previously from 2001 to 2003.
