Trombone Shorty – For True

Biography
Troy Andrews is the younger brother of trumpeter and bandleader James Andrews . Growing up in New Orleans’ Treme neighborhood, “Trombone Shorty” was participating in brass band parades as a child, carrying his trombone even before his arms were long enough to reach all the positions of the slide. Andrews was a bandleader by the age of 6. Originally attracting attention for his youth, by his teens he was attracting attention for his musical virtuosity as well.
He attended the prestigious New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts (NOCCA). And as a graduate he joined the ranks of others like Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Harry Connick, Jr., Irvin Mayfield and Nicholas Payton.
In 2005, he was a featured member of Lenny Kravitz’s horn section for a world tour that shared billing with acts such as Aerosmith.
Six weeks after the levees failed in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, some of the city’s greatest musicians came to Austin, Texas, to record a benefit CD called Sing Me Back Home at Wire Studios with producers Leo Sacks and Ray Bardani. With their lives in storm-tossed transition, the all-star collective was christened The New Orleans Social Club. Andrews was the featured guest on “Hey Troy, Your Mama’s Calling You,” a tribute to “Hey Leroy, Your Mama’s Calling You” which was a Latin-jazz-soul hit for the Jimmy Castor Bunch on Smash Records in 1966. Andrews also performed on “Where Y’At” as part of The Sixth Ward All-Star Brass Band Revue featuring Charles Neville of the Neville Brothers.

@anthonycons what the fuck, that's a shitty thing to say. Jazz was originally black music, yeah, but I think we're at the point where any race can play jazz and have it be legitimate. And since when does jazz need a revival? People have been studying jazz for like half a century.

Watched Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue twice at the Caloundra Music Festival. First time I was sitting back and was taken aback, so on the Sunday I decided to jump into the crowd. They were probably the highlight of the festival, which is incredible considering it was a line-up with the John Butler Trio, Living End and The Cat Empire all head-lining. Bought For True straight after and got it signed too.

Also, I feel like anyone who appreciates a good horn riff could grow to love Streetlight Manifesto. Check out "Somewhere in the Between" then "Everything Goes Numb" then "Keasbey Nights."

Chr1st0phe, check out "Galactic," under Trombone Shorty's similar artists, for sure. They've got more of a full-jazz-band feel and have a bigger focus on hiphop, but it's amazing.
