Trombone Shorty returns with his first album in five years and the follow-up to his Blue Note debut, Parking Lot Symphony. Capturing the energy of his live shows, the album combines classic New Orleans sounds(funk, gospel, street rhythms, Mardi Gras Indian chants, and second lines) with modern lyrics, melody and beats to create something fresh and unique, part Jimi Hendrix, part James Brown, and all New Orleans.

A career-changing album from musician and activist Jon Batiste celebrates Black American culture and music while exploring themes of lineage, authenticity, excellence, and evolution. This album is about honoring roots and traditions while looking forward to the future and constantly evolving.
