Trombone Shorty throws open the doors to a New Orleans block party on For True, a 2011 album and a brass-powered blast of funk, rock and jazz.

Troy Andrews grew up in the city's Treme neighborhood, playing in brass bands as a kid before building a sound all his own. After the breakthrough of Backatown, For True pushed further, mixing second-line rhythms, hard rock riffs, hip-hop swagger and soul into what he calls supafunkrock. Producer Ben Ellman of Galactic kept the energy high, and the album went on to top the Billboard jazz charts.

The guest list reads like a celebration of everything Shorty loves. "Buckjump" teams him with the Rebirth Brass Band and 5th Ward Weebie for a rowdy street-party opener. "Do to Me" brings in guitar great Jeff Beck, while "Encore" features Warren Haynes trading licks over a heavy groove. The title track, "For True", shows off the dazzling horn chops that made his name.

Elsewhere, Ledisi, Kid Rock and members of the Neville family widen the palette, but the record mostly lives at full volume.

For anyone who has stood in a sweaty New Orleans club as a horn section kicked in, For True bottles that feeling, and it sounds great played loud with friends in the room.
