Starting with a parade (down an opera-house aisle) and ending nearly three hours later with a jam session, Red Hot + New Orleans brought a generous Crescent City spirit to the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Friday night to kick off a two-night stand.
Trombone Shorty, who also plays trumpet, was curator of the show, the latest of the Red Hot Organization’s AIDS benefit concerts, which donated some proceeds to the New OrleansNO/AIDS Task Force. Born Troy Andrews in New Orleans, Trombone Shorty is ubiquitous in his hometown as a bandleader and a sideman; his 2010 album, “Backatown” (Verve Forecast), is nominated for a Grammy Award.
