Free Music Review: New Orleans Jazz-Funk-Rock
Hit: 5 Stars

WOW! I was completely blown away by a recent live performance of this group! I was so impressed that I wanted to buy the disc at the concert... but, surprise!, it had sold out already by the time I got to the merchandise tent. After going to a local disc shop, I popped this baby in my cd player and was engulfed by the sweet sounds of Trombone Shorty. This album absolutely captures the raw energy that this band gives off during live performances and is every bit as exciting.

The album features Allen Touissaint on piano on "On Your Way Down," one of Toussaint's songs. This song is a definite highlight of the album, making it a great rendition of Toussaint's original. Lenny Kravitz sings background vocals and provides a guitar solo on "Something Beautiful," a wonderful neo-soul/R&B song cowritten with Ryan Montbleau. Marc Broussard sings additional vocals on "Right to Complain" and Charles Smith plays synthesized bass on "Backatown" and "Quiet as Kept." The core band features Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews on vocals, trombone, trumpet, keyboard, drums, and percussion! Pete Murano is an awesome guitarist and provides excellent solos and backing. Mike Ballard on bass, Joey Peebles on drums, Dwayne Williams on percussion, Dan Oestreicher and Clarence Slaughter provide awesome horn backgrounds on Bari-Sax and Alto Sax/Flute respectively.

Troy Andrews wrote/co-wrote nearly every song on this album, and it goes to show that his songwriting talent is quite substantial, especially in the New Orleans funk-jazz genre. The opener "Hurricane Season" and the title track feature awesome horn licks and are extremely catchy tunes. This album is a romp through New Orleans tinged funk and R&B and makes great music for a party or gathering. I haven't been able to pull this album from daily rotation since I purchased it!

Go out and buy this, and other albums from this artist, you can't go wrong. The musicians are above-average and the song-writing is catchy and intuitive. I wouldn't be surprised if this band skyrockets to the top within the next year or two!
