Spyridon Andrews
Writer • Lawyer • Jazz Musician
Spyridon (Don) Andrews is a Greek American writer, lawyer, and lifelong jazz musician. In his writing, he draws on his Hellenic roots, as well as his love of Renaissance Humanism. A graduate of Harvard, he writes works that blend history, travel, philosophy, and comedy. Most recently he wrote Manuel and Me: Looking for the Soul of America in the Heart of Italy.
His upcoming works will be based on modern jazz and the issue of human inspiration, as well as further works on Hellenism. He is also the editor of the forthcoming, Ancient Light for Modern Souls, an anthology of classical and Christian wisdom. Spyridon is very active in the jazz community and his most recent music releases were made under the name Spirojazz. He had his wife Rachel, their two children Jake and Lucy, split time between California, Italy and Greece.
