Wow, wow, wow is what I want to say. This was the best gig I've been to for the last 10 years at least! If you want to be taken seriously playing jazz in New Orleans, you need to be good, so I was expecting something great, but these guys surpassed anything I could've hoped for. I'd heard the Backatown album but not the most recent release, and we were treated to songs from both. The musicianship on show here was out of this world, the whole band were right at the top of their game. They were clearly thoroughly enjoying themselves on stage to the total delight of the audience. The music itself is a fabulous fusion of New Orleans trad jazz, 70s funk, soul, hip hop and rock, and it works so well. Trombone Shorty (Troy Andrews) himself is a sublime front man, with just enough presence to lead well, but sufficient humility and belief in his band's abilities to give them the honours when due and appreciate their support of his amazing trombone and trumpet playing (and he's a pretty fit looking young man too!)

Trombone Shorty and his band, Orleans Avenue are fantastic. Great musicians, and real energy. They played a selection of songs from the previous album Backatown, and some from the new album For True. All the songs are really strong, and Trombone Shorty is an incredibly talented and versatile performer, and a good singer as well.
He also did a version of James Brown's Make it Funky, which was great. They have a unique sound that is Jazz/Funk and a bit rocky. They really put their all into the set, and you could see that they were enjoying it. A great night out, and well worth seeing

Trombone Shorty and his band delivered an onslaught of growling funk to a packed Jazz Cafe on Saturday night. The cross over from the native New Orleans roots music with a more easily accessible rest-of-the-western-world sound will win over audiences wherever they go.
They didn't really need to play the crowd pleasing James Brown number-the crowd were pleased enough.
They join Jon Cleary and Galactic as the must see acts from the Big Easy.

These boys from New Orleans were fabulous. Real skill, talent and vibes were on display. They brought the funky updated souther rhythms to Jazz Cafe and had the audience rocking and grooving. What disappointed me was no encores. As Trombone Shorty said in his finale , I want it, I need it but we didn't get it. We later learned that they had to be off the stage by 10:30. Clearly this was to facilitate that "I Love the 80's" crowd we saw infiltrating the venue at 10:20 or so. Jazz Cafe can't eat their cake and have it. Let the show flow, particularly since there was no opening act and we were there buying drinks and then do your double dipping with a new audience. The end left a bad taste in my mouth. Not the music just the handling of the band by Jazz Cafe.

Trombone Shorty showed Camden Town why he is one of the most promising upcoming jazz talents around. His blend of jazz, rock and funk backed by the epic Orleans Avenue had everyone at Jazz Cafe moving. Showcasing a mix of the old and new material, Troy Andrews (Trombone Shorty) was filled with energy and enthusiasm, involving the crowd throughout. 5 years from now it will be impossible to find Trombone Shorty playing a venue this small as he is destined for big things!

After seeing Mr Shorty et al in Edinburgh earlier in the year, I was determined to see them again at the Jazz Cafe.
I was not let down, the show was simply awesome. Mr Shorty and every member of the Orleans Avenue have a natural talent and willingness to entertain that is a throw back to the entertainers of yester year. They simply enjoy being on stage and getting the crowd bouncing, singing and waving.
There is no doubt though that Trombone Shorty is the ring master and he pulls all the strings so deftly.
If at anytime in the future you can see these guys, regardless of your musical taste, then I certainly recomend it.
Excellent value for money.

great performance and great atmosphere.
I wasnt expecting the music to be that loud, so next time I may bring some earplugs.
Also, the place was superpacked and there were some bottles and glasseson the floor, which could have been dangerous.
It may make sense to have some tables in between for people to place their empty glasses/bottles on.

Saw them opening for Jeff Beck at the glasgow SECC, was very impressed with both the musicianship and the material played, as good an opener as I couldve hoped for, I would definetly recommend them.

All in one, I think the concert was pretty good. The kid definitely knows what he is doing and knows how to get a crowd excited. The recent collaboration "Something beautiful" with Lenny Kravitz got everybody moving. Even people on the seats got up.
The small Jazz Cafe in London was the perfect place to host this event as it was contributing to the atmosphere in general. the smaller the club - the better the concert.
The only dissapointing thing was that unfortunately there was no support act at all - nothing to do with his talent though.
If you get the chance go see him - it is worth the couple of dollars

I booked tickets to see Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue with my brother, hoping that I would hear them do a set which would get the most out of them as a live experience. They definately delivered. The atmosphere was very intimate in The Jazz Cafe, and the songs varied from the really thumping over to the really sophistictaed, yet all of them worked excellently.
I bought Trombone Shorty's album Backadown and heard a live online set before the gig, and I had discovered him through his work with funk/rap band, Galactic, and their 2008 release, From The Corner To The Block. Of note to readers just now discovering Trombone Shorty is that he has worked in Lenny Kravitz's band for most of his career, touring the world.
He is very effective at using his own band, Orleans Avenue, to maximum effect. As part of this concert, Trombone Shorty paid homage to his all-time faves, as he restyled Louis Armstrong's Sunny Side of The Street with a twist which I shall not reveal in case you are going to see him play soon. Then there is his musical virtuosity, playing the trombone continuously for well over a minute as someone would play the didgeridoo. That had me amazed because I didn't realise how much flare he has on his instrument.
I would recommend people to see Trombone Short because he embodies the fun in music to some extent. His musical background is in New Orleans but the material he creates is universal, not just for one type of listener. If you like Trombone Shorty, then check out The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Galactic, The Hot 8 Brass Band and The Youngblood Brass Band. Hopefully these and other brass mardi-gras style bands will tour even more in the UK in 2011. I shall certainly go to see them if they are touring.

Fantastic from start to finish. Trombone Shorty's verstility on the trombone, trumpet and vocals is brilliant and with the backing of Orleans Avenue the Jazz Cafe was funking. I will be looking out for when he returns to the UK.
