Bumbershoot Prep 4 - Trombone Shorty

My next featured artist, Troy Andrews, better know as Trombone Shorty, is an amazing young trombonist who feels as comfortable jamming with the likes of U2 and Lenny Kravitz as he does performing with his unique blend of jazz, funk, rock, hip-hop and rap with own band, Orleans Avenue. Andrews describes his music as "SupaFunkRock". Guitar super-star Jeff Beck has taken quite a fondness for Trombone Shorty and they have played together at several festivals this year. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to experience the rare guest appearance by Mr. Beck? I will certainly keep my eyes peeled and ears alert.

Here's a clip of Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue performing Something Beautiful.
