In this video from the White House, Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews performs "St. James Infirmary" with special guest Booker T. Jones and the White House band in February 2012.
This guy's got an unreal set of lungs. Going right into singing after that amazing solo
Pretty sure he circular breathes at some points, you can see how his cheeks puff up a ton then slowly get smaller without taking a breath. Absolutely insane player.
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
@@wilhelm4948 almost sure the puffed cheeks are just a habit of his.
@@wilhelm4948 He's actually really good at circular breathing
@@liambrier5353 I mean I would fucking hope, holy shit this guy is amazing
From 2:38 and onwards the drummers facial expressions are just pure gold
Passion, intensity, the moment of your life, finish strong, 4th quarter, overtime, 10 secs to greatness, land it, wait...WAIT!, finish him, fatality- drummer wins, flawless victory.
Thank you so much for that 😁🙏🏻
Thank you SO MUCH
Also this version of that song is my least favorite sadly, but that face, that man, gave it a 10/10
what is the drummer's name?
imagine be so good trombonist, Fred Wesley is playing 2nd trombone, behind you.. what?
Lol
Great observation about Fred playing 2nd trombone and yes Fred Wesley is real class act for taking second trombone to let trombone shorty do his thing.
What is the name of the trombone player?
I am a trombone player and I basically look up to trombone shorty
I guess no matter who you are, if you have the chance to play at white house you'll do it no matter what ;)
Make the White House groove again!
The Martial Arts Approach ?
LaToya Crisp White House needs some groovin
Trump ain't got an ounce of groove man, no chance.

0:12 George Washington: "Ladies and Gentlemen... Trombone Shorty!"
Severely under-liked comment right here
“Da fuck is dis”
lmao
"is this Hamilton?"
Jorge washeton
Anyone else catch that at 2:00 after the last note he went straight into singing without taking a breath? I was impressed
but... He took a breath...
@@BoomerangVillage lmao
It looks to me like the upslide of the smear a breath was taken at around the third slide position. Still, a well timed display
he did take a breath
This guy can Circular breath like no one's business, I think he'd be fine
My man on the drums was *FEELIN' IT!*
Not to mention Ms. Obama on his sweater 😂😂😉👍🏿
@@kristinemunholland8980 True!
2:44 keep looking at that guys face playing drums
ME TOO XDDDDDDD
akperson 554 he is like wtf.
akperson 554 he,'s like come on. Come on. Yes don't crack a note
payday 2 he was busting some mean nut
Joseph Walker yep
Seriously might be one of the best trombone solos recorded.
Look up Wyclef Gordon..
Depends. Kinda short so maybe didn’t have enough time to do as much cool stuff as a longer one.
Maybe here lately , but it used to be in every band and this performance while great isn’t new at the best, I’m just glad to see this song still being a played
Black and blues trombone. Thank me later
William bilal black and blues
2:35 I just can’t get enough of the drummers face from this point forward 🤣
He is so happy to be there
It's literally all of us rn
Nothing like talent from New Orleans. Everybody got swag. Trombone Shorty parade is awesome every year. It is a treat to be there. So much fun. He has a look of class.
The solo at 1:18 I get chills every single time
I love this part
he actually inspired me to start playing trombone !!!
He is reinspiring me to pick up my trombone after about 14 years.i was actually very good and now regret putting down my instrument.
when did you start?
@@JAHDCypha me too... younger 14 yr old me coulda played this solo with good practice :')
@@elividal9888 yessir.music saved my life growing go in the islands during high school. While my other classmates were involved in neighbourhood gun wars ,east vs west etc..i Was involved in concert band, Jazz Band And later we the juniors started the marching band (back when we wore t shirts with our School barracuda logo😂).did this all while playing Football the real football lol⚽) ...but I miss it..jazz band especially . taught me to be a very good Swing, blues and Latin Jazz player..improv time in band class / after school practice was my favorite part 🙏🙏
@@JAHDCypha oh me too. I started playin in within the year got from beginning to advanced band in middle school, got better at high school and loved jazz and marching band. Then stopped playing and I feel like I have to relearn the whole dang instrument 😂
What I really love about this is that they all look like their having so much fun
Especially the drummer
What a great funky version. It's usually played slow as a dirge. This is kicking. Especially the Bass line. What a version. I didn't think you could make a second line version of this NoLa classic Well done 👍
You are definitely mistaken.
@@power966 What am I mistaken about, dear?
i must say...i am in awe of Trombone Shorty and the rest of the band for "sexifying" such a heavy song...and a special shout out to the bass guitarist
I'm used to hearing this song played as a dirge, but it works pretty nicely as a Mambo too. This is pretty epic. The solo was 🔥🔥🔥!
You are definitely mistaken.
@@power966 How so?
Glad they brought in a New Orleans musician to play a jazz standard, even if it's shown in a popular light. One great aspect of pop music is that it can make less accessible or "outdated" music more accessible to wider audiences. The thing with Troy Andrews (Trombone Shorty) is that many would actually consider him a legitimate jazz musician, despite the several genres he crosses over into. Versatile cat
I just found this and it got me into more jazz as of recent! It really got me interested in the genre.
Back when the White House had real spirit and heart, and knew how to rock. And could get good artists to play there. I love Trombone Shorty!
AvalonMorley couldn't agree more. It is going to take a while to clean the stench of the current resident
This isn't even a real or validated criticism you're just looking for excuses to bash Trump at this point lmao
@@carolingian5736 fax
AvalonMorley I mean they still killed kids in Yemen😐
Ian Ian public? You mean the private crowd in the audience that was invited by the host? I mean where your coming from but for real? public events by the president are just a waste of time and it’s too much stress for everyone involved. Just go to a concert. There’s lots of free events around your city if you look.
2:44 - 3:02 the drummer's face is how I look during a meeting realizing I shouldn't have had spicy food for lunch. Phenomenal performance though.
Watched this so many times and just noticed that the mic starts falling at 2:47. Good on that sound guy to pump the gain real quick.
Andrew Howell it’s so good I always get tingles
youve never heard Trombone Shorty, until youve heard that sound echoing through the buildings in DT Rochester NY at the RIJF. Literally the entire city could sit in their backyards and hear from every neighborhood.
Hey! That's Fred Wesley on Trombone in the back, He played with James Brown, in case you didn't know!
Wow! Then his yet another ICON!!
fred weasley from harry potter
Thanks for the 411! Mr. Wesley probably showed Trombone Shorty some technique. JAMES BROWN, may he RIP, had the BEST band.
He played with Maceo Parker too
Damn that’s really cool that you could point that out
Remember when he was actually short?
I love this version of St. James infirmary !
If you’re wondering what brand trombone he has, he’s got a BAC Custom. I got one too, absolutely amazing looking and sounding
Thanks
BAC’s in my experience have been nothing but bad horns but yours might be different
C4pt41nN3m0 I’m not saying all BAC’s are bad i’m just saying there’s some better horns for the same price
C4pt41nN3m0 i said the ones i’ve tried were nothing but bad
Elow Cow I have a French made costom one very expensive😓buh i prolly have the best sounding horn in my entire band so was definitely worth the investment
Fred Wesley on backup Trombone ... Amazing!
Thanks for confirming my suspicion :)
All you need is Maceo!
Love the drummer's facial expressions lol
Especially from here 2:42 till the end😂😂😂
The stankiest of faces
He’s literally jizzing himself to Trombone Shorty.
Drummers always have the best animated faces lol
I saw Trombone Shorty live in 2016 as a young brass player. His ability to play and sing so beautifully and monstrously is just magical
Do we miss this or do we miss this
The chemistry of this band is amazing. They really trusted each other, and that made their timing phenomenal
I can't believe I used to see this man as a kid at The Funky Butt. New Orleans oozes world talent.
Shout out to my teacher in 5th grade for introducing me to this beautiful music his name is mr white
Whaaaaaaaaa
Same
My sub teacher was telling me about him rn and hes allowing me to use my phone just to listen to this
Was his first name by chance Walter?
How the hell was this uploaded about 3 Years Ago, and the only comments are less than a week old?
Finn Wilson wondering the same thing
Finn Wilson right
KZhead's AI has decided it's time for the algorithm to change.
I just now found this video. That's why!
Facts
The drummer dressed for the wrong gig
Luggage got lost on the flight. Lol
@@lamar1404 Not only that he looks like a confused thumb.
@@somebloke7056 This drummer plays super tight and he's wearing a Michelle Obama vest at the White House. He knows exactly what he's doing :p
he spilt cocktail sauce over his suit, and he didn't have time to find a new suit but saw a dollar store and got that
@@jackc6378 Haha no no no, this guy had that vest for YEARS and was just waiting for the perfect moment to wear it. He found it :p
Ringing in the New Years with Trombone Shorty sounds bout right. Welcome 2024, let’s stomp this one out
THAT DRUMMER JUST GAVE ME LIFE AT THE END!!!!!
My dude pulling a Cab Calloway homage, I dig it. Also good on him for having Fred Wesley backing him!
I was looking for a comment confirming that it's Fred Wesley
No way - is that THE Tim Heilmann from Exhibit A???
I was wondering why it reminded me of Minnie the moocher.
Nobody does it quite like shorty man he got that swing
1:13 BRO GOT OBAMA SINGING
This is why America is the greatest Country on Earth!!!
no lol
2:35 the drummers going through a whole range of emotions
I remember when Trombone Shorty was a child playing in the Treme area. NOLA knew they were witnessing a Star.
I’m from New Orleans from the uptown 17th ward area and I must say I’m really impressed at how fantastically talented my home boy trombone Shorty is 🫡 and this song 🎶 is piercing to soul wow I’m working out to some jazz music and I just found this song and it’s amazing …👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 God bless good music
If anyone can find music for this I'll love them forever
I met Shorty at New Orleans for a band trip Really cool guy
I know I'm late but this was very good musically and the band flawless performance!☺
Young man is so talented. I know the crowd always gets a big thrill out of his circular breathing, but those triple or quadruple or whatever tong that he does amaze the crap out of me.
Man I miss Bourbon Street so much to hear that jazz in New Orleans😎
Mind blowing musicianship and he can sing too!
I've now changed my opinion abt trombone. Apparently I'd never heard the right song done the right way b4 now. 😳
Trombone Shorty, c'est très bien, et il a une très belle voix. Super moment à la maison blanche. Heureux de voir le Président et sa femme.
Absolutely Amazing! Talent! Pure Gold
Man this put a big smile on my face, absolutely loved it
Just Luv this guy. Plays a real Mean Trumpet as well.
He's incredible. New Orleans heart and soul. Didn't know he played for them, but it makes sense. They know good music.
Don’t you just love the drummers facial expressions.
Him going to the sharp 11 at the end was the best moment in history
That drummer is having fun 😂
Awesomeness!!!!! It never gets old.👍🏽❤️🖤💚🎶
2:50 look at Walden’s face when shorty was playing
hes in awe
Born and raised in the 504 no place like it. He is an inspiration to the world.
You can say what you will about this trombone dude, but the drummer is the MVP here, from the body to the clothes to the facial expressions.
This is soooo good ! It’s amazing how he can sing and play trombone
Man he should do this again in a month or two!
THIS dude right HERE!!!
So excited to see him in June!
I read trombone shorty book to my class(kindergarten) and also play this video to them. At the end of the video, the kids just can’t help but clapping their hands! Some came to me said “this is awesome “. Thank you Trombone shorty! The kids were having a great time enjoying your music!
I cant get over the drummer face during the final trombone solo😭
As a trombonist I can verify that… This is awesome!
I aspire to be like this guy one day, he really is amazing man. (I play trombone and I'm in choir, so maybe i got a chance :D)
What a performance! And that lion’s-roar of a trombone crescendo…
I was down to St. James infirmary, in a found my baby a girl. She was dressed out on a long white table, So sweet, so cold so fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this whole wide world over Never find a sweeter man as me When I die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain The gang'll know I died standing pat Let her go, let her go God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this wide world over Never find a sweeter man as me I want six crapshooters to be my pallbearers Three pretty women to sing a song Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon Raise hell as I stroll along Let her go Let her go God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this whole wide World over She'll never find a sweeter Man as me
Saw this dude at the RHCP concert last year. It was dope af
Listened too this 30 times today
Absolutely Fabulous!!! Thank you.
Damn he looks like he knew what he was doing since he was born
God I love this style he added
Instantly reminded me and took me back to Jazz band in Highschool! Got Superior with Distinction and the thrill and passion I felt. I felt in this song AMAZING!!!! And you can’t find it on Apple Music dude noooooooo
Trombone Shorty played with Prince in 2014 at his last concert in New Orleans. He was awesome!
I love how distinguished every musician looks, and in a true drummer manner, the drummer is wearing a glitzy obama/michelle-graphic sleeveless tux.
This gave me chills because of how good it is
the groove though it´s so cool and smoothly performed.
Trombone Shorty is a fucking beast. Mr. Wesley there in the back was impressed and proud as fuck of him haha
New Orleans in the house ya'll
*We watched this in class and we laughed at **2:44*
I aM bOrEd why tho??
@@vboo6250 look at the drummer
what class
I r,keener watching this in class. This is the only song I heard in class that I’ve like in my entire life lol
Gosh I listened to this at school and an just can't believe how good this is- 😭😭
3 minutes and 21 seconds of sweet greatness.
2:44 The drummer looks like he's spotted like the nastiest bald spot on the back of shorty's head or something
How the heck does this not have millions of views
i was only 1 years old when this song came out.
and booker t on organ too? what an ensemble
Fred Wesley passes the torch.
Some of the best Newest talent... Trombone Shorty rocks the White House
