![]() ![]() ![]() Trombone Shorty tells Press Play that until he was a teenager, he thought everyone everywhere was surrounded by music in their neighborhoods, and that it was just normal to play songs. He’s also played at the White House and all over the world. He’s worked with Ringo Star, Lenny Kravitz, Bruno Mars, and numerous other stars. Today, Trombone Shorty is a cultural staple of New Orleans. Earlier this month, he closed out that same festival. In 1990, at age 4, he played at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, thanks to Bo Diddley bringing him to the stage. He grew up surrounded by music in the Tremé neighborhood, marching through the streets in brass band parades as a kid. Jazz musician Troy Andrews, aka Trombone Shorty, is out with a new album called “Lifted,” which is inspired by New Orleans. ![]()
