New Orleans' 22 Year-Old Phenom, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Brings the Party to Sacramento! 8pm on Wed 05/21 at Marilyn's on K** - 908 K Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 $15 advance tickets on marilynsonk.com Tony Passarell Trio is opening “UNBELIEVABLE! It’s just not anything you’re going to hear anywhere else.” -The Edge (U2) "Don't get me wrong, we got it goin' on in New Orleans, he is just BETTER." -Allen Toussaint "Troy possesses the rarest combination of talent, technical ability and down home soul. I'm his biggest fan." -Wynton Marsalis |
Sacramento New & Review Music Pick (5/15/2008) Trombone Shorty: New Orleans’ master of trombone. In the wrong hands, super-funk-rock which combines the rawness of rock ’n’ roll with the energy of funk might come off as hokey. Don't worry, though Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews has it all under control. Borrowing from the interpretive nature of jazz and the rawness of hip-hop, the trombonist has carved out quite a niche for himself. Seen through the eyes of a corporation, the kid is pure marketing potential: extremely talented, soulful and handsome. And it doesn't hurt that he’s a prodigy. Raised in New Orleans’ jazz-rich Treme neighborhood, Trombone Shorty, a band leader since the age of 6, performs each time as if he’s giving an unforgettably riveting speech. Using his horn, he cries, laughs, commands and convinces the crowd until they are swaying to his lead, forgetting time and place and focusing solely on the message: the music. And he does all this while almost shirtless. He’s performed with U2 and Green Day and will play a special set at Marilyn’s on K (between 9th and 10th) on Wednesday, May 21. The 21-and-over show begins at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at www.marilynsonk.com. J O S H F E R N A N D E Z |

New Orleans native Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews, a bandleader since age 6, has earned rave reviews both for his jazz artistry and as leader of a blazing funk/rock/hip-hop band. The 22-year-old musician dazzles on both trumpet and trombone, and Offbeat Magazine recently named him "Performer of the Year" as well as "R&B/Funk Band of the Year." Rolling Stone critic David Fricke called Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue a "thrilling" highlight of the 2007 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. In an unofficial kick-off to the big Sacramento Jazz Jubilee weekend, Swell Productions is thrilled to present Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue making their blazing Sacramento debut downtown on Marilyn's on K** A product of the culturally rich Treme neighborhood in New Orleans, Andrews was a trombone and trumpet player and band leader by the age of 6. |

A Brief Ramble You Need to Read
**After nearly two years, we are ending the pioneering "Americana Ramble" on Wednesdays at the end of this month (September), folks! We are moving it to 2x a month on Thursday beginning in October. We look forward to downtown Sacramento growing faster and bigger than ever and hope that you will continue to support Marilyn's and the businesses who have been pioneers. Thanks to you all who have championed us --you know who you are. Most especially we want to thank Richard March-- our very own twinkling bird! He's been the face and force of the Ramble and we can never thank him enough. His crack players--Tyler Ragle, Steve Randall and Kevin Priest have been the awesome house band worthy of Paul Shaffer. So go buy a handful of their new album, LEVEE ROAD, for holidays gifts already, OK? [Check out the new R5 Records at 16th & Broadway!] Stay tuned to this network for further news --and please check out our awesome shows (listed above) that we have just announced at the 24th Street Theatre.
Genuinely, Mindy & Steve--Swell Productions |
