No Guts, No Glory<br />
By Jennifer Odell<br />
Trombone Shorty, one of the most<br />
exciting musicians on the scene<br />
today, plays his namesake horn<br />
with passion, and he’s also a fiery<br />
trumpeter and an engaging vocalist.<br />
With the studio album For True<br />
(Verve Forecast), he and his backing<br />
band, Orleans Avenue, have<br />
reached a new peak.<br />
