Trombone Shorty, nom de sc\u00e8ne du tromboniste, compositeur, chef d\u2019orchestre, auteur et philanthrope Troy Andrews, incarne l\u2019esprit vibrant de La Nouvelle-Orl\u00e9ans. Enfant prodige, il fait ses d\u00e9buts aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Bo Diddley \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de quatre ans, dirige son propre brass band \u00e0 six, puis part en tourn\u00e9e avec Lenny Kravitz \u00e0 treize ans.
Son style est \u00e0 son image : flamboyant, puissant et \u00e9nergique, mais aussi capable de nuances chaleureuses, expressives et tendres. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 sa connaissance encyclop\u00e9dique de la tradition des fanfares de La Nouvelle-Orl\u00e9ans, il peut interpr\u00e9ter ce r\u00e9pertoire dans sa forme la plus pure tout en le fusionnant \u00e0 ses propres compositions, qui m\u00ealent funk, jazz, rock, hip-hop, soul et blues.
Son premier album, Trombone Shorty\u2019s Swingin\u2019 Gate, para\u00eet en 2002. Il signe ensuite chez Verve Forecast et conna\u00eet un succ\u00e8s critique et public avec Backatown (2010), For True (2011) et Say That to Say This (2013) \u2014 trois albums qui atteignent la premi\u00e8re place des palmar\u00e8s jazz contemporain et lui valent une reconnaissance internationale.
Fier de ses racines dans le quartier de Treme, Andrews fonde la Trombone Shorty Foundation, par laquelle il offre personnellement des instruments de qualit\u00e9 \u00e0 des \u00e9coles et jeunes musiciens locaux. En 2015, il publie Trombone Shorty, un livre pour enfants inspir\u00e9 de son parcours, suivi en 2018 de The 5 O\u2019Clock Band.
En 2017, il rejoint l\u2019\u00e9tiquette Blue Note pour l\u2019album Parking Lot Symphony, qui reste en t\u00eate des palmar\u00e8s jazz contemporain pendant sept semaines. Son deuxi\u00e8me album chez Blue Note, Lifted, sort en 2022 et confirme son statut d\u2019ambassadeur moderne du son de La Nouvelle-Orl\u00e9ans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trombone Shorty is the stage name of New Orleans’ trombonist, composer, bandleader, author, and philanthropist Troy Andrews. A childhood prodigy, he debuted with Bo Diddley at age four, was leading his own brass band at six, and touring with Lenny Kravitz at 13.
Andrews’ inimitable sound is fat, brash, and aggressive one moment, and warm, moaning, and sweet the next. His encyclopedic knowledge of the brass band tradition allows him to play the repertoire straight as well as integrating it in his own compositions with funk, jazz, rock, hip-hop, soul, and blues.
His debut, Trombone Shorty’s Swingin’ Gate, was released in 2002. He signed to Verve Forecast for 2010’s major-label breakthrough, Backatown, followed by For True the following year, and Say That to Say This in 2013. All topped the contemporary jazz album charts and won global notice.
Fiercely devoted to his Treme neighborhood, Andrews created the Trombone Shorty Foundation, personally donating quality instruments to local schools and individuals. In 2015, he published Trombone Shorty.
He signed to Blue Note for 2017’s Parking Lot Symphony, which spent seven weeks atop the contemporary jazz charts. Andrews’ second kids’ book, The 5 O’Clock Band, was published in 2018. Lifted, his second Blue Note album, appeared in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
