Troy Andrews, better known by his stage name Trombone Shorty, is an American musician, producer, and philanthropist who was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on January 2, 1986. Andrews was born in New Orleans’ cosmopolitan Tremé neighbourhood and raised there. The trombone’s parents are James Andrews Jr. and Lois Andrews.
The trombone is best known for playing the trombone and trumpet, though it can also play the tuba, organ, and drums. Some of the most well-known artists in hip-hop, jazz, funk, rock, and pop have worked with him. Andrews, the great-grandson of musician Jessie Hill, is the younger brother of James Andrews III, a trumpeter and bandleader.
Andrews began playing the trombone that his brother James had given him when he was four years old “since the family already had a trumpet player.” At the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Bo Diddley overheard four-year-old Andrews playing and extended an invitation for him to perform.
Trombone Shorty’s signing to Blue Note Records was announced on February 1st, 2017. On April 28, 2017, the opening day of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, his Parking Lot Symphony, his first Blue Note recording, was made available.
