She's worked with different producers. Given his interest in jazz he seems like a good choice for this track.
It appears he tackled the trumpet, horn, tuba and sax in elementary school, so I would doubt his proficiency there. But he seems to be able to play a variety of instruments.
Here he is at work using a guitar, "Making of EP1 featuring 'Try'"

He is primarily a songwriter. On the piano, he helped write a song that landed at #1 on the Billboard Country Music Chart:
Quote:Lady Antebellum's Dave Haywood told The Boot the story behind the writing of this song: "This was one of the first songs we wrote after we released our first record. We wrote it with Busbee. When we walked into the room that day, he was jamming on a piano. We had never met this guy before, but it turns out he's a really great piano player. He was just jamming for fun, but it was such a cool little piano riff. We start a lot of our songwriting musically, as opposed to lyrically, so we were like, 'What was that? Why don't we just write to that?' Within three or four minutes, we were already humming melodies to a verse and the chorus.
Sounds like he was proficient on the trombone as well:
Quote:The California native, who got his start playing trombone around the New York area...ASCAP's Tim DuBois said he thinks he has something strangely in common with Busbee...
"As far as I know -- and I haven't checked this out very carefully -- but Busbee and I, I think, are the only two trombone players who have gone on to have a No. 1 country record," DuBois said. He added, "Like me, he learned it is hard to write on trombone."
