Eight Gigs: Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue
Sat., Sept. 17, 7 p.m., Ace of Spades, $35-$40
Has a trombone ever looked cooler than in the hands of Trombone Shorty? In addition to being a force of his own at the head of his backing band Orleans Avenue, the New Orleans native has worked with the likes of the Zac Brown Band, CeeLo Green, Rod Stewart, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Robert Randolph. The multi-instrumentalist brings a fresh, contemporary take to his music, blending hip-hop, jazz, rock and R&B to form something distinctive and impossible to resist on the dance floor. 1417 R Street, www.tromboneshorty.com.
