As a child he would fall asleep in bed with it he played so much. At 4 years old, Bo Diddley pulled him up on Stage to let the boy play at a music festival there in New Orleans.
There is a picture in the back of the event. I have heard of Trombone Shorty, but I thought he was an old great back in the time of Count Basie and those old jazz musicians. This was a great story full of hope and positivity. The artwork is ink, watercolor and collage. The kids thought this was interesting. I told them that the trombone was his life and that is why he got so good at it. The nephew gave this 3 stars and the niece also gave this 3 stars.
I think she learned something from his perspective. View all 4 comments. Martin Luther King Jr. But I LOVED the illustrator's note at the end, which added an extra layer of meaning to the artwork: "I felt it was important to depict the sound of the music as beautiful colors and shapes that swirl out of Troy's trombone. Even the balloons that you see dancing throughout the book represent music always being around and floating through the air.
By the end of the book, these balloons have transformed into a large hot-air balloon, powered by the force of Troy Andrews's horn. This balloon first transports Troy's musical message over the city of New Orleans, but as Troy grows, his music has the power to soar over the entire world.

Using his trademark collage, pen and ink, and watercolor illustrations, Brian Collier effectively captures the sounds and flavor of New Orleans, the home of musician Troy Trombone Shorty Andrews. Trombone Shorty's voice is distinct in this picture book describing his lifelong affinity for the music that filled the streets of Treme, his New Orleans neighborhood.
Playing their own makeshift instruments, the youngster and his friends often followed in the footsteps of bands and street musicians d Using his trademark collage, pen and ink, and watercolor illustrations, Brian Collier effectively captures the sounds and flavor of New Orleans, the home of musician Troy Trombone Shorty Andrews. Playing their own makeshift instruments, the youngster and his friends often followed in the footsteps of bands and street musicians during parades.
In New Orleans, we, of course, call that "second lining," a sort of ritual in which performer meets audience, and they mingle so that it becomes impossible to discern which is which.
Having been nominated from Grammy Awards and traveled the world with his own band, this talented man continues to play the music he loves in the city he loves and work to preserve that music.
To that end, he has established a foundation to support the next generation of jazz musicians. I enjoyed the way the author tells his story, starting with the importance of music to New Orleans before moving into his own interest in music. It is as though the two cannot be cleft in twain, which anyone who has lived in the Crescent City will surely understand.
Paying homage to the unique expressions of the city's residents and their passions, the book will make anyone who's been there truly miss New Orleans. The illustrations show how carefully Collier has studied this city, even depicting neighborhood scenes and Mardi Gras crowds hanging out under the high rise underpass that leads out of town or across the Mississippi River. While it might have been enlightening to know more about the musician's formative years and his family, my only regret is that it would be lovely to have a CD with one of the musician's songs included in the book.

His musical career has a unique beginning, when as a short, little boy Bo Diddly hears him playing along, in the audience, during a concert and calls him on stage to jam with him!!
After reading about Trombone Shorty, I am inspired by Troy and his love of music to practice my banjo even more.

Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews' delightfully personable and intensely enraptured first person narration, how he is telling the story of his own childhood, his own musical development and that he so glowingly and joyfully describes New Orleans culture have been an absolutely sweet and informative more than pleasant surprise for me.
For Troy Andrews' words really and truly ring and sing with happiness and musicality, showing us as readers not only the importance of music for New Orleans as a cit Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews' delightfully personable and intensely enraptured first person narration, how he is telling the story of his own childhood, his own musical development and that he so glowingly and joyfully describes New Orleans culture have been an absolutely sweet and informative more than pleasant surprise for me.
For Troy Andrews' words really and truly ring and sing with happiness and musicality, showing us as readers not only the importance of music for New Orleans as a city and for Louisiana as an area, as a state but also how music is both a communal and a family affair, how everyone joins in and how everyone encourages everyone else from the youngest to the oldest.
An expressive and lyrical celebration of family, of community, of music and really, the only tiny little pet peeve academically inclined I do have is that I kind of wish that alongside of the informative author's note and acknowledgements, Troy Andrews had also included a selection of books and perhaps even a few websites for further study and research, as that would increase the teaching and learning potentials of Trombone Shorty. Now when I first saw Bryan Collier's cover image for Trombone Shorty , I did have to wonder whether his illustrations their Caldecott Honour designation notwithstanding would perhaps be a bit too garish and gaudy for my personal aesthetics.
However, even though Collier's pictorial renderings are indeed bold, expressive and very much in one's proverbial face, for the narrative, for Troy Andrews' exuberantly musical and intensely gleefully jubilant text, they provide not simply an adequate but really and truly a perfect accompaniment.
They are indeed like the musical notes to the author's words, to his story, as Bryan Collier's colourfully expressive and impressive visuals give the polish that renders Trombone Shorty into a five star read for me and even with the lack of suggestions for further reading, Bryan Collier's gloriously joyful and descriptive accompanying illustrations have indeed made Trombone Shorty a favourite and will keep it thus.
