Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue

“Take a handful of funk, add a pitcher of R&B, toss in some jazz, sprinkle a dusting of hip-hop and sauté that gumbo under a sizzling New Orleans flame for a flavorful musical dish. It’s what the Crescent City’s Trombone Shorty has been serving up for the better part of two decades.” —Hal Horowitz A childhood prodigy, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews debuted with Bo Diddley at 4, led his own brass band at 6 and toured with Lenny Kravitz at 13. His encyclopedic knowledge of the brass band tradition allows him to play it straight or incorporate it with funk, jazz, hip hop, soul and blues — all of which have made him wildly popular around the globe.
