Feel Good Fridays:  Re:Generation

DateFriday, November 4, 2011 at 9:00AM

The Re:Generation Music Project is an effort to pair up unlikely collaborators and see what happens.  Not necessarily a new idea (anyone remember the Judgement Night Soundtrack?) but a good one.  Peep the trailer below and then listen to Mark Ronson with Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Trombone Shorty, members of the Dap Kings and drummer Zigaboo Modeliste.  Fresh.

Madhouse Mondays: Trombone Shorty

DateMonday, September 26, 2011 at 8:53AM

In August of 2007 I got the call to open for Trombone Shorty.  I knew he was a young New Orleans cat making a name for himself - but I wasn't prepared for what I saw and heard that night.  We talked after the show and I told him that I really felt like "I saw someone tonight".   I had a glimpse of what the rest of the world will soon see.  Don't let the name fool you, Troy is just as skilled on the trumpet.  Watch him and his boys tear it up live on KEXP (shit gets real hectic around the 2:25 mark).
