Trombone Short & Orleans Avenue are
a funk/pop/hip-hop mix populated
with musicians like frontman Troy
"Trombone Shorty"Andrews who are
young in age only. Orleans Avenue
brings the heat winding audiences up
in merry confusion. Jazz fans shake
their heads in unexpected delight
while the funksters shake what they
got with glee. Things reach a fever
pitch as Andrews starts his circular
breathing-one note sustained in
pristine beauty while the band vamps
on a second line beat and sax player
James Martin dances so ugly it's
funky. Virtuosity and exuberance,
Orleans Avenue effortlessly combines
both. With Mike Ballard on bass,
James Martin on tenor sax, Pete
Murano on guitar, Joey Peebles on
drums, and Charlie Smith on
keyboards, their performances
transcend the boundaries of
generations and classification.
Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue
is high energy, high octane and
highly contagious.
