Trombone Shorty Tops Australia's Rhythms Magazine Readers Poll

Trombone Shorty's For True has been voted to the top of Australia's Rhythms magazine Best of 2011 Readers Poll (February 2012 issue) for Jazz Album of the Year - International. Trombone Shorty also won top honors in the Gig of the Year - International category for his 2011 performance at Australia's Byron Bay Bluesfest. Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue return to Australia for 5 dates (including 2 at Bluesfest) in April.

For True has ranked in the Contemporary Jazz Top 10 since it's September release, with 12 weeks at #1 so far. In a related win, HBO's Treme won for Best Soundtrack (International) - it includes "Ooh Poo Pah Doo" performed by Trombone Shorty (the song was originally a hit for his grandfather, Jessie Hill, when it was first released in 1960). Congratulations to all the winners!
