NORI featuring Carolyn Trowbridge NORI is a genre-bending jazz band featuring Akina Adderley on vocals (granddaughter of jazz legend Nat Adderley), Erik Telford on trumpet, Nick Litterski on keys, Aaron Allen on upright bass, and Andy Beaudoin on drums. Festival Peak describes Nori as “a five-person gift from Austin, TX.” Their most recent album Walking Foot has received much critical acclaim including an Editor’s Choice for best albums in 2025 in Jazzwise magazine and a declaration by Paris Move – “This is not just an album; it is an offering of vision, soul, and intellect, likely to be referenced and revered for years to come.” Austin Music Award-nominated multi-instrumental musician, performer, and composer, Carolyn Trowbridge is an energetic, multifaceted artist. Her innovative fluency with her craft creates sonic experiences, fueled by a zealous passion for all things “sound.” She has recorded, collaborated, and performed with several well-known artists including Grammy Award nominees Black Pumas, Adrian Quesada, Graham Reynolds, Alex Coke, Star Parks, Hard Proof, Mike Portnoy, and many more.
