Trombone Shorty

Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, a trombone and trumpet player from New Orleans, has become the pride of New Orleans. By melding Funk, Rock and Hip-Hop into his traditional New Orleans 2nd Line and Jazz music, Andrews has produced a sound that is truly his own. Super Funk Rock…a musical gumbo is his exact phrasing for this type of sound. Our own Neal Cohen had the pleasure of speaking with “Trombone Shorty” about his sound, how New Orleans has influenced him, and his latest album Backatown
