Trombone Shorty brings his New Orleans horn section to the Gerald Ford Amphitheatre with Orleans Avenue backing him up. Expect brass band energy filtered through funk and jazz, the kind of sound built for a horn line to stretch out over a heavy groove.
He grew up playing in the city's brass band tradition before pushing it into funk and rock territory, and that mix is still the backbone of the show. Vail's outdoor setting should suit the horns well.
