Troy Andrews (born January 2, 1986), also known as "Trombone Shorty," is a jazz-funk trombonist and trumpeter hailing from the Treme neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. Styling himself as a latter day James Brown, Andrews combines the virtuosity and innovation of jazz with the grittiness and danceability of funk. He is the younger brother of James Andrews, the trumpeter known as the "Satchmo of the Ghetto," and Glen David Andrews, a noted trombonist. Both James Andrews and Glen Andrews were fixtures in the New Orleans brass band scene before striking out on their own.
