Trombone Shorty

His playing style seamlessly blends jazz, funk, rock, and hip-hop, resulting in a dynamic and energetic sound that pushes the boundaries of his instrument. Throughout his career, Trombone Shorty has collaborated with artists both within and outside the jazz realm: from Wynton Marsalis and Herbie Hancock, who recognized Shorty's talent early on, to rock musicians Foo Fighters and Lenny Kravitz, and New Orleans music royalty like Dr. John. And just like the latter, Trombone Shorty has become a dedicated advocate for the conservation of his hometown’s cultural legacy.
