Playing their own makeshift instruments, the youngster and his friends often followed in the footsteps of bands and street musicians during parades.
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. 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. 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." 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. Even the balloons that you see dancing throughout the book represent music always being around and floating through the air. "I felt it was important to depict the sound of the music as beautiful colors and shapes that swirl out of Troy's trombone.
But I LOVED the illustrator's note at the end, which added an extra layer of meaning to the artwork: Unfortunately, I didn't like Collier's artwork in Trombone Shorty as much as I loved it in Martin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. I loved how Trombone Shorty took over Bo Didldey's performance :)))īut although Collier's illustrations are beautiful, they somehow fail to convey how young (and tiny!) Trombone Shorty really was then this happened: I think she learned something from his perspective. The nephew gave this 3 stars and the niece also gave this 3 stars. I told them that the trombone was his life and that is why he got so good at it. They thought it was funny that he slept with his trombone and I said ‘how is it different than sleeping with Frankenberry?’, and then the nephew got it. It’s a blending of all kinds of things like Trombone’s music. The artwork is ink, watercolor and collage. This was a great story full of hope and positivity.
He is modern and has played with great people’s bands like Lenny Kravits and Prince. 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. There is a picture in the back of the event. As a child he would fall asleep in bed with it he played so much.Īt 4 years old, Bo Diddley pulled him up on Stage to let the boy play at a music festival there in New Orleans. I have to admit it’s not my favorite instrument in the music world, but Trombone shorty fell in love with a trombone and he played it every day of his life. It’s hard for me to imagine someone falling in love with a trombone.
