Earlier this year, while down in New Orleans at Jazz Fest, Jeff Beck made a point of heading out to Tipitina’s for Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews’ late night show. Beck enjoyed what he saw and invited Andrews to join his band for a one-off tribute to Les Paul this past June at New York’s Iridium. Now Beck will introduce Trombone Shorty to his homeland, as Andrews and his group, Orleans Avenue, will open five U.K. dates in October.
