I've seen this man, and the band several times. They have NEVER disappointed. In fact, this weekend I wound up going to both shows. Completely different show each night. I went each night with friends who I had brought to previous shows and are now die hard fans themselves. In fact, the buzz in the audience is usually, "have you seen him before?".
A young, but very talented and tight group out of New Orleans. Shorty is a natural showman who commands the stage as well as highlighting his band members. He is vibrant, energetic, fun. His talents on the trombone are (I think) actually surpassed with his trumpet playing. With both he is incredible, versatile and precise. The ability to go from very high range notes, to low in a phrase! Amazing control of his chops! The music is uptempo, funky, with an occasional r and b, or rock cover; New Orleans classic or jazz standard thrown in. Most is original music.
As always he had the crowd energized and loving it within minutes. He is gracious, yet confident.
I really can't describe how fun and talented these guys are. But if you EVER get the chance to see them....do yourself a favor. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
