About

Trombone Shorty is back with his first album in 5 years and the eagerly awaited follow-up to his 2017 Blue Note debut 'Parking Lot Symphony', which the esteemed New Orleans music magazine OffBeat said continued his tradition of 'stunningly good musicianship, crowd-pleasing good material, and just plain good fun'. The new album captures the explosive energy of his legendary live shows, and combines classic New Orleans sounds (funk, gospel, street rhythms, Mardi Gras Indian chants, and second lines) with modern lyrics, melody, and beats to create something fresh and unique. The album features special guests including vocalist Lauren Daigle and guitarist Gary Clark Jr..

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

June 2022

For Lifted, Trombone Shorty asked the performers to cut loose and play as if on stage. The album certainly has an immediacy that bespeaks spontaneity. Maybe fringe from a jazz perspective, but it ’s funky, feisty, phat and often fun (which is fine with me) and the heritage of New Orleans street music and R&B is in its blood.

July 2022

Recorded at his own Buckjump Studio with producer Chris Seefried, Shorty delivers powerfully, from the monumental groove of album opener ‘Come Back’ to the multi-layered soulfulness of ‘Good Company’.
