Trombone Shorty, a thread

[The Polack MSgt]

1st I heard of him was when he appeared at Blues Week in St Louis a couple years after this song was released. He was no stranger to the festival circuit up and down the river.
I was lucky enough to see him free a couple times

Here's another early release heavy on the NOLA brass band inflected funk

He and his band are more than capable of stretching out

Old School jazz more your thing?

1. There aren't many other trombonists that people know by name.

In fact, the only other one I can think of is Jack Teagarden, and he was before my time.

2. I can't define "it" but I think I have a pretty good ear for finding folks who have it

He is fantastic live, and if you kill it live I will be a fan - forever

I'm a fan of a couple bands that didn't translate to the stage but made great records.

I still like 'em but I can't be a BIG FAN of those bands like I am of artists who really bring it on stage

3. I know what you mean.

When you hear a performer you like from recordings and then he sounds just as good or better live, he seems more real to you. We have a lot of technology nowadays to help us feel connected to our music, but we still haven't come up with anything that's as good as a live performance. It seems that artists who are only able to do their music in a studio just aren't genuine to us.
