Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews shares his own story of growing up poor in New Orleans and the power that music had on him. “People didn’t have a lot of money in Tremé, but we always had a lot of music.”
He lived the music of the city and early on found an old battered trombone which he learned to play and become a famous musician, named Trombone Shorty. The name came early on when he was half the height of his trombone.
The illustrations made from watercolors and collage bring this story alive with their bright colours and vibrancy.
