The six-man group’s sound is fi ery hot, swingin’, groovin’, funkadelic and always tight. It’s really tough to make brass the centerpiece of a sound, with guitar basically becoming part of the rhythm section and wicked horn chops furiously tak- ing over the lead. Trombone Shorty pulls this off with might and intensity that’s impossible to ignore. Get to Cuthbert Amphitheater early and set your toes tap- ping, your head lulling and your heart afl ame; you won’t regret it.
