  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2011
  • He can play the horn. He can sing. And that's made him the latest musical star of a great New Orleans tradition. But Trombone Shorty mainly just wants you to dance: "I know you came here to move," he sings to an office full of NPR staff.
    Set List:
    "Dumaine St."
    "Lagniappe"
    "Do To Me"

    I work in a music venue and they played our club recently. It was overwhelmingly agreed upon by the staff that their show was one of the best we have ever had. Rarely do we have on our stage that much talent, having that much fun, making the entire club want to move. Amazing. I hope they're back soon.

    I think the most entertaining part of these tiny desk concerts is watching musicians maintain the intensity of the music while lowering the volume to match the space being played in. It's truly a show of control and attention to detail.

      i saw these guys live this last summer, hearing them play when they don’t have limits is a seriously exhilarating feeling. i was like four feet away from the whole band, they had two drummers, and another saxophone with them. seriously amazing

      Stop this foolishness. This is not SKA at all or straight up jazz. na pe is right that there's classic jazz influences- It's mix of funk, rock, and jazz. But to say that jazz is alive is wrong too, shorty's sound is very distinct.

His music is classy, soulful, funky, and pure. Don’t think I’ve ever heard a single four letter word on any track he’s ever recorded. This is real music.
