The Trombone Shorty Foundation
The Trombone Shorty Foundation evolved from Andrews' Horns For Schools Project, a collaboration with New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, which helped schools across New Orleans receive quality instruments donated by Andrews personally. The Foundation's mission is "to preserve and perpetuate the unique musical culture of New Orleans by passing down its traditions to future generations of musicians."[11] In December 2012, the Foundation partnered with Tulane University to create an After School Academy to mentor aspiring, high school musicians in the New Orleans area.
Vida personal
Andrews is one of 7 children of Lois Nelson Andrews, daughter of Jesse Hill. His brother Darnell, also a talented trombone player, was shot and killed in 1995. Following that tragedy and fearing for his talented younger brother's prospects in an increasingly violent neighbourhood and with a grieving mother, James Andrews left him in the care of his manager and friend, late business woman Susan Lovejoy Scott. From a wealthy, prominent family, Lovejoy Scott acted in loco parentis, managing and mentoring Andrews as a young musician through to his tenure at NOCCA. Her stewardship is credited with Andrews'exposure, groundedness and professionalism that kept him from the same pitfalls as many of his talented Treme contemporaries. Andrews has a teenage son, Hasaan "Too" Goffner with Lady Buckjumper Social and Pleasure Club personality, Shalanda Goffner Adams. Andrews has lived in New Orleans all his life, growing up in the Treme and Filimore neighbourhoods and now living in Audubon.
