Sisters Folk Festival Winter Concert Series--Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue
3/16/2010 7:00 PM
A product of New Orleans' culturally rich Treme neighborhood, Trombone Shorty is a mix of jazz and funk rock
Rare indeed is the artist with the virtuosity to draw the unqualified respect of some of the most iconic legends in jazz and the ability to deliver a high-energy funk rock show capable of mesmerizing international rock stars. Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews is one such artist - and there is no one else like him.Trombone Shorty is equally adept on trombone and trumpet and is a man to be reckoned with on both.
A product of New Orleans' culturally rich Treme neighborhood, Trombone Shorty was a bandleader by the age of six.
While navigating New Orleans with his band in tow, he was also absorbing lessons from his older brother James, a dynamic musical performer known as "Satchmo of the Ghetto."
By the time Trombone Shorty was twelve, he had a Ph.D. in the ways of the streets, which you can still hear in his music.
