White trombonist Steve Turre (1948), who also became a virtuoso of the conch shell while accompanying Roland Kirk, reinvented chamber jazz through ever more complex and longer compositions and diverse settings that ranged from ensembles of conch shells to traditional jazz combos. The depth of his music kept increasing via Fire and Ice (february 1988), Right There (april 1991) and Rhythm Within (1995) until the delicately baroque take on Latin music of Turre (june 1996).
