“Being jazz-trained, things happen spontaneously. Even though it's funk...” — Trombone Shorty Quote

“Being jazz-trained, things happen spontaneously. Even though it's funk rock, we still have the instincts of a jazz musician.”

“I've lost a bunch of friends - some of them in jail, some of them made bad choices, some of them aren't where they should be.”

“I was nurtured to play music pretty much from birth.”

“'Uptown Funk' has all the ingredients of the funk that I love.”

“I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.”

“I feel so honored that I'm bringing part of the culture of my country to other countries, you know, like the funk music.”
