Ikebe Shakedown - "Tujunga" by Ubiquity Records

Ikebe Shakedown - "Tujunga" b/w "No Name Bar"

  You can now stream the final version of my afro-disco tune "Tujunga" from Ikebe Shakedown's self-titled sophomore release, courtesy of Ubiquity Records (Orgone, Breakestra, NOMO, etc.)  We recorded this at Dunham Studios with Tom Brenneck (Dap-Kings, Budos Band, etc.), who also lent his late-night synth talents to the end.  I'm looking forward to my second songwriter credit on a 45!  The first single (Tujunga b/w No Name Bar) will be released on May 10th, and the full-length CD/LP "Ikebe Shakedown" will drop on June 7th.

Trombone on The Pimps Of Joytime's upcoming album: "Janxta Funk!"

I'm happy to be featured on a few tracks off of The Pimps Of Joytime's upcoming album "Janxta Funk".  Brian J and the PJT's have been touring hard for the last few years, and are starting to make some serious noise in the Funk world.  Watch me be awkward in their new video, "Take The L Train", and listen for me on the title track "Janxta Funk!"

Trombone on James Andrews (NOLA) upcoming album (prod. Brian Jay)

James Andrews

I'm happy to be on a few tracks from James Andrews' upcoming album, "The Big Time Stuff". James is Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews' older brother, and is a real veteran of the NOLA scene. This was recorded in Brian Jay's (Pimps of Joytime) home studio.


Tracks: "Keep That Music Playin" feat. Cyril Neville, "Ghetto Funk Music" feat. Monk B, "Take A Little Trip"

Shakedown Horns - James Andrews Clips by NadavNirenberg

Trombone, Solo on Ikebe Shakedown's "No Answer" (prod. Dunham Studios)

My solo starts at around 2:16, this tune was written by Robin Schmidt, taken from our debut EP "Hard Steppin". Recorded live at Dunham Studios (Budos Band, Menahan Street Band, Mark Ronson, Cee Lo, etc), this was the first take of the day.

Trombone on Navegante's "Rebel Ship Rock"

Skip to 1:00 to hear da horns.  Extra credit if you can name the Fela tune this horn line is "inspired by"

Trombone on Ritz Superbowl Commerical (prod. Wyclef Jean)

Recording w/Wyclef Jean at Platinum Sound

If you skip to :20 you'll hear the cover of EWF's "Lets Groove" I recorded with Wyclef Jean for Ritz Crackers. I went to this recording session straight from my first tour with The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, and I remember feeling pretty damn happy that night!

Trombone/Sousaphone on "Pilot Talk 2" (Curren$y, Ski Beatz prod.)

I'm proud to be on this Curren$y track "Highed Up", produced by Ski Beatz.  Curren$y has some serious momentum going, and Ski Beatz produced most of Jay-Z's "Reasonable Doubt", which was a huge album for me.
