SUMMARY:Jumbo Shrimp
DESCRIPTION:The Jumbo Shrimp Jazz Band started out the best way a traditi
 onal New Orleans jazz band could: in the streets. What began as a tradit
 ional jazz busking group has grown and evolved for over a decade into on
 e of the most exciting bands playing on Frenchmen Street today. Some cal
 l their style “progressive traditional jazz”(a term as fitting as their 
 contradictory namesake)\, but whatever you want to call it\, you can def
 initely say that it’s fresh\, high-energy\, accessible\, danceable\, and
  just plain fun. Bandleader/trombonist/vocalist Colin Myers started Jumb
 o Shrimp as a Royal Street busking group in the hot\, slow summer of 200
 9. There were just four band members at first – trombone\, banjo\, bass\
 , and drums. They quickly developed a chemistry based on their playful\,
  exuberant approach to the music. It didn’t take long for club gigs to f
 ollow. They soon began playing residencies at Fritzel’s European Jazz Pu
 b on Bourbon Street and then at The Spotted Cat Music Club on Frenchmen 
 Street. The driving force behind Jumbo Shrimp has always been Colin’s mu
 sical vision\, which is less about creating a particular sound and more 
 about gathering together musicians who are badasses in their craft\, but
  who also like to goof off with each other. Who\, in fact\, prefer to go
 of off than to play authentically in any style. Every song has been give
 n wild and unique arrangements\, all of which were developed organically
  over time at their live shows. Colin feels his role is to give everyone
  a vehicle to do that in the songs\, and to hold the space where the mus
 icians can feel free to be their most joyous\, exuberant\, wacky\, and o
 riginal selves. The current lineup has been solid for 6 years now\, and 
 that playful\, exuberant chemistry has solidified into something truly o
 f its own: a party band that roots itself in New Orleans jazz\, but at a
  moment’s notice can fly off into early New Orleans R&B\, surf rock\, fu
 nk\, gypsy swing\, punk\, pop\, Caribbean music\, TV theme songs\, comme
 rcial jingles\, or whatever suits the moment. Audiences love the energy\
 , the accessibility\, the danceability\, and the band always has a blast
