Honestly, as a trombone player familiar in classic and jazz, I'm not with his performance. If you want to hear some amazing jazz trombone, listen to Jimmy Cleveland. Trombone Shorty merely uses some flashy little tricks rather than truly virtuosic jazz playing.
@Dyllon2012 it's kinda like the whole "jimmy page is the greatest! who's wes montgomery?!" thing. hell, i actually play 'bone more like this when i'm with rock groups. that being said, i'll still occasionally drop a trane substitution over a solo with one chord...as a shout out to anyone paying enough attention to recognize it
@Dyllon2012 and that attitude is why jazz is so far removed from the mainstream. Who cares if it isn't pure jazz, no duh this isn't jazz it is a cover of, what, an ACDC song? Its music, its fun, and when its all said and done its still nice to hear. I hope he does grow into a bit more jazz playing, but come on down from the jazz arrogance and you know accept it for what it is, music, just music.
@jacekhin i went to the spoleto festival in charleston sc yesterday for one of his concerts, and there was a Q&A before and he said he knows more than 12 instruments
This is an absolutely fabulous - fabulous performance that would bring the house down anywhere, any time. TS unashamedly deserves a guest performance on some of the late night talk show. I found this clip by accident - wow !!!
So......he must have been a virgin all those years he spent using his free time to practice. Then people realized he was a BAD ASS and didn't care anymore!? Haha
@Stormbubi It is a Tenor Trombone. Judging from the counterweight I would guess it is a King, probably a King III, popular jazz model from King for jazz.
@trombone922 Nope, he's playing on an Edwards, had to check out their site to make sure, but with the counterweight and the satin finish he has, I already knew. If you go to their website edwards-instruments /trombone/artists/index.php you can find out more about the horn he's using.
@adventureahead WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE SHORTY I DONT KNOW YOU AND YOU DAMN SHOUL DONT KNOW ME COMING AT ME LIKE THAT...SWEETY YOU BETTER GET A GRIP
@Stephens923 Wow, thanks for proving my point. "Damn shoul" is not a term in the English language, or any for that matter. Try hooked on phonics bitch
@Stephens923 Keep practicing every day. Stop blowing a horn for one day you will notice, stop playing for two days the other guys in the band will know it, stop practicing for three days and EVERYBODY will notice it!
Saw Trombone Shorty on the youtube Bonnaroo coverage and even tho it aint my type of music I found it really enjoyable. Good to see some guys from Louisiana just having fun man....
