In this companion to the Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Award–winning Trombone Shorty, join a scrappy young musician named Shorty on a tour of his beloved New Orleans.

After letting his band down by missing rehearsal, Shorty has some serious questions about what it means to be a leader. He hits the streets of New Orleans to find some answers and soak up inspiration. Along the way he’ll meet street musicians, a favorite restaurant owner, and the famous Mardi Gras Indians.

Each has some NOLA-bred wisdom to share with Shorty about being an artist, a leader, and a friend. In The 5 O’Clock Band, Troy Andrews has crafted another unforgettable love letter to New Orleans illustrated by the incomparable Bryan Collier.
Industry Reviews
"A glum young musician gets some excellent fatherly (and motherly) counsel amid the colorful pageantry of New Orleans in "The 5 O'Clock Band," a picture book with illustrations by Bryan Collier that are as loud and joyfully assertive as the music of a slide trombone." -- The Wall Street Journal
