Trombone Shorty: Jazz Musician in New York

About Trombone Shorty

Trombone Shorty is the stage name of Troy Andrews, a New Orleans musician best known as a trombonist and bandleader. His work draws from jazz traditions while folding in funk, rock, pop, and hip-hop rhythms, often moving between horn lines and groove-driven ensemble writing. In performance with Orleans Avenue, the set tends to prioritize tight unison figures and rhythmic shifts over extended virtuoso display. In New York City, he brings that hybrid approach to stages such as The Rooftop at Pier 17.
