Trombone Shorty

Hailing from the Tremé neighborhood in New Orleans, Troy &quot;Trombone Shorty&quot; Andrews got his nickname by wielding a trombone twice as long as he was high. A prodigy, he was leading his own band by age six, and today this Grammy-nominated artist headlines the legendary New Orleans Jazz Fest.<br> Along with esteemed illustrator Bryan Collier, Andrews has created a lively picture book autobiography about how he followed his dream of becoming a musician, despite the odds, until he reached international stardom. <i>Trombone Shorty</i> is a celebration of the rich cultural history of New Orleans and the power of music.
