Debut LP On Blue Note Records!
Featuring "Here Come The Girls" & "Dirty Water"!
Trombone Shorty's debut album for Blue Note Records features his cover of Allen Toussaint's "Here Come The Girls". The album captures the spirit and the essence of The Big Easy, while redefining its sound, blazing through '70s Funk, Rock, Hip-Hop and R&B.
Parking Lot Symphony is a 12-track tour de force produced by Chris Seefried (Fitz And The Tantrums, Andra Day) and featuring songs co-written by Aloe Blacc and Alex Ebert (Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros), along with covers of Allen Toussaint ("Here Come The Girls") and The Meters ("It Ain't No Use"). True to its title, the album contains multitudes of sound - from brass band blare and deep-groove funk to bluesy beauty and hip-hop/pop swagger - and plenty of emotion all anchored, of course, by stellar playing and the idea that, even in the toughest of times, as he says, "Music brings unity."
