Backatown, the 2010 album from New Orleans trombonist Troy Andrews, better known as Trombone Shorty, was released on Verve Forecast and produced by Ben Ellman of Galactic. It's filed under jazz, but the horns here are ready to fight: Andrews throws rock, funk, pop and hip-hop into the pot, and the grooves hit like a parade that found a distortion pedal.
"Hurricane Season" is the track that crossed over to the countdowns, and the jazz world noticed too. Backatown climbed to number 3 on Billboard's Jazz Albums chart and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Jazz Album in 2011, and For True followed.
