In New Orleans, it’s cool to be in the high school band — especially when Trombone Shorty shows up in the band room.
The brass player and bandleader recently paid a visit to New Orleans’ Warren Easton High School to work with band members. It’s part of his work with the Trombone Shorty Foundation, a music education initiative.
“[Trombone Shorty] is, without a doubt, the role model for the next generation right now,” says Bill Taylor, the foundation’s executive director.
