Trombone Shorty returns to the 58th Annual Monterey Jazz Festival.

Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue performed the main stage a couple years ago.

The first nugget of Monterey Jazz Festival news confirms that the 58th annual event goes down September 18-20, 2015.

Now, for some of the more exciting developments:

The rest of the MJF 58 performers that I can reveal: Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, Dianne Reeves and Snarky Puppy
