New Orleans jazz, funk, rock, soul and hip-hop mixed Troy Andrews on his debut album to a so far not been included Melange, which manages the balancing act between commercial and artistic standards bravurös catchiness.

Andrews also never claims to artistic vanity to provide (in the form of his instrument, so the trombone) permanently in the foreground, to say: he holds back with his Solis, if it is necessary. With its own distinctive style in his trombone can and must attest to him yet. From New Orleans Jazz equally marked as radio and blessed with voluminous, chops' comes over the still powerful, but also sensitive and above all very groovy.

For his outstanding band join on this disc even celebrity guests. His ex-donor rolls Lenny Kravitz eg. As a background vocalist and guitarist on, Something Beautiful 'and Allen Toussaint, the Andrews cover of his song, On Your Way Down' by his piano style not only quasi gives his Sanctus, but also highly impressed by the way showed how the 'has evolved (Original quote: "Do not get me wrong, we got it goin' on the musical tradition of New Orleans in New Orleans He's just better..").

The great feat of this board, it is the most diverse styles to mix with each other so that it acts never mounted. If, Suburbia 'example., Old' Jazz is backed by violently crushing rock guitars, then you're already impressed with how well this works.

It seems as have the old stars like Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley finally found a successor who is not only in their tradition, but actually shows how you can create a new crossover finally something completely new items in the area.

A plate in any case the - has rightly received a Grammy nomination and the not to be missed part - for once. Self-knit rock lovers are the dynamics and power disenchanted with this album a lot and for funk, jazz and soul music lovers it has some felicitous surprises. On the whole, dissolves, Trombone Shorty 'with this disc, the promise that Joseph Bowie had been with Defunkt so many years, namely to combine rock, jazz and funk to new and explosive manner.
