Shorty’s return

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Sep 13, 2017 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Trombone Shorty, The Record Company
Date: Wednesday, Sept. 20, with doors at 6 p.m.
Venue: Saenger Theatre, 6 S. Joachim St., www.mobilesaenger.com
Tickets: $31.50-$36.50, available at Saenger Box Office and Ticketmaster

This twofold lineup promises to bring the hottest modern jazz, funk and blues to The Jewel on Joachim.

Los Angeles-based progressive blues trio The Record Company will open the evening. This group won thousands of fans with its single “Off the Ground,” and hasn’t disappointed its growing fanbase with its versatile blues rock. From the funky blues shuffle of “Rita Mae Young” to the Burnside-esque “On the Move,” The Record Company’s sound has more to do with growing the blues than simply keeping the genre alive.

A packed house will be welcoming Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue back to Mobile. Over the years, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews’ contemporary Big Easy brass sound has made him a favorite in the Azalea City and beyond. Shorty delivers an adrenalized hybrid of jazz, soul, funk and hip-hop to music-hungry audiences.

With a set guaranteed to keep the crowd moving, Shorty’s high-energy live shows are equally impressive. The crowd can expect to hear live cuts from his latest release, “Parking Lot Symphony,” in which Shorty and his band give listeners a heavy dose of classic soul with a ribbon of funk flowing through the track list.

About The Author

Stephen Centanni

With the exception of two years spent at Auburn University, Steve Centanni has spent his life in Mobile County while focusing on his two passions: music and the written word. As soon as he was issued his driver’s license, Centanni began to explore the local music scene in the early ‘90s. He filled his weekend with visits classic local venues such as the Four Strong Winds Coffee House, Vincent Van Go-Go’s and Culture Shock, all of which welcomed those who had yet to reach 18. After high school, Centanni traded Mobile for Auburn to complete his B.A. in English with an emphasis on general writing. While at Auburn, he had the honor of studying under the Pulitzer-winning poet Natasha Trethewey, who served as the nation’s Poet Laureate in 2012 and 2014. After receiving his diploma, Centanni quickly moved back to Mobile and completed the University of South Alabama’s graduate program with a M.Ed. Eventually, he was tapped by the nationally distributed Volume Entertainment Magazine to serve as the magazine’s managing editor/senior writer. His time with Volume allowed him to exercise his love for both music and writing. As Volume began to fade, Lagniappe recruited Centanni as their Music Writer and later their Music Editor, where he has remained for a little over a decade. As far as his involvement in the local music scene, Centanni organized Cess Fest at the Langan Park, which was a mini-festival focused on original local music in a time when original local music was veritably taboo in Downtown Mobile. For a short time, he brought original music to Downtown Mobile as the in-house promoter for the now deceased venue Cell Block. He managed local underground powerhouse Fry Cook, until the members parted ways. Centanni has lent his bass to bands such as Keychain Pistol and The F’n A-Holes, and he toured nationally as a member of Abstract Artimus & the Torture Children. Currently, he provides vocals for the garage blues rock outfit Johnny No. Ultimately, Centanni’s experience in the local music scene as both a participant and an observer has allowed him to witness the ever-changing persona of Mobile’s enigmatic music scene, which continues to leave him with more questions than answers.
