The late Reggie Andrews was a Dazz Band affiliate who went on to change countless lives as a music teacher at Locke High School and founder of the Multi-School Jazz Band. Beyond mentoring artists like The Pharcyde and Tyrese Gibson, he shaped a generation of student musicians, including Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Terrace Martin, and Ronald Bruner Jr. In this clip from The Questlove Show, Thundercat reflects on how Andrews—who died in 2008—transformed lives through mentorship that extended far beyond music and helped cultivate a new Los Angeles Jazz scene.
