I drove out to the lake where it was quiet the other night and sat in my car smoking a cigar and listening to a cool jazz station on Pandora. This was one of the tunes that came up on the station. It's not exactly what I'd call cool jazz, but I was digging it regardless. Cool Jazz is more like what you might hear in an upscale New York night club in the fifties. This has a little more pop than that.
Troy Andrews (AKA Trombone Shorty) is a trumpet and trombone player from New Orleans. He's worked his way through jazz, funk, and rap. You can hear influences from each style in this song. I'm pretty excited to have found a new artist (for me) like this.
