Hear JAMES ANDREWS Here!

Valley residents will remember after the Katrina disaster that Badger Realty sponsored a Mt. Washington Valley Jazz Fest Benefit Concert. The concert featured displaced New Orleans musicians along with some local talent to present an evening of great New Orleans style jazz. One of the stars of that great evening was none other than jazz trumpeter, James Andrews. And, now Arts Jubilee is proud to announce that James is returning for our special New Orleans Jazz - Mardi Gras style to celebrate our Silver Jubilee in August.

James, locally known as 'Satchmo of the Ghetto', is a member of a prominent New Orleans music family which also includes Prince LaLa and Jesse Hill. His first solo album, Satchmo of the Ghetto, which also features Dr. John and Allen Toussaint, is a mix of traditional New Orleans trumpet workouts, acid jazz-styled, instrumental funk and gruff, soulful Louis Armstrong influenced vocals.

Few musicians have been as dramatically transformed by the impact of Hurricane Katrina as James Andrews. The crisis turned the trumpeter and vocalist from a talented purveyor of the good time tradition of New Orleans jazz and R&B to a spiritual leader in the city=s determination to reclaim its identity. He was back in town offering hope through music immediately after the storm, and his efforts helped to define a new identity for himself as well.
