New Orleans Brass

 

In New Orleans, the city that gave the world jazz, a young trombone player and vocalist is proudly taking that style of music into the 21st Century. Glen David Andrews articulates his city’s deep musical heritage through his performing better than anyone his age. He has one foot planted in the more contemporary, funky sounds that define today’s New Orleans brass band scene; meanwhile, Andrews shows his elders the respect he believes they deserve, as his other foot rests firmly in the music’s time-honored traditions. “Traditional jazz, the way it was played 100 years ago, is dying out with my generation,” Andrews says. “And I’m not about to let that happen.” By combining the old with the new, Andrews has created a unique sound, one that is currently captivating New Orleans music fans. Andrews certainly possesses the pedigree to carry this illustrious New Orleans musical flame.
