504-578-6685ABOUT THE FESTIVAL CREATIVE DIRECTOR, DONALD HARRISON JR.

New Orleans-born saxophonist 2022 NEA Jazz Master Big Chief Donald Harrison Jr. is a

musician and composer whom master musicians consider a master of every era of jazz, soul, and

funk, and a composer of orchestral classical music. A genius according to fellow music geniuses

like Eddie Palmieri and Mike Clark, his alma mater, Berklee College of Music, awarded

Harrison an Honorary Doctorate in 2021. In the HBO drama “Tremé”, Emmy-winning director

David Simon created two characters to portray how Harrison innovated new styles of music. He

appeared as an actor/musician in nine episodes of “Tremé,” in Oscar-winning director Johnathon

Demme’s film “Rachel Getting Married,” in Spike Lee’s “When The Levees Broke”

documentary, and Marvel’s “Luke Cage.” Harrison is also the recognized Big Chief of the

Congo Square Nation in Afro-New Orleans culture and was Chiefted in 2019 by Queen Diambi

Kabatusuila from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa.

Harrison honed his experiences playing with legendary artists such as Roy Haynes, Art Blakey,

Eddie Palmieri, Dr. John, Lena Horne, Dr. Eddie Henderson, Miles Davis, McCoy Tyner, Dr.

Lonnie Smith, Ron Carter, Billy Cobham, Chuck Loeb, The Headhunters, hip-hop legends

Digable Planets, Guru’s Jazzmatazz, The Notorious BIG, and The Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

He has performed with over 200 jazz masters and innovated three influential styles of jazz. At

nineteen years old, Harrison created a modern jazz take on the New Orleans second-line tradition

and introduced his composition, “New York Second-Line,” to the jazz world in 1979. By the

mid-80s, he had created the sub-genre of Nouveau Swing, a distinctive sound that blended the

swing beat of modern jazz with hip-hop, funk, and soul music. In the ’90s, Harrison recorded hits

in the smooth jazz genre. He then began exploring music through the lens of quantum physics in

2000.With “Quantum Jazz,” Harrison expanded music from a two-dimensional state into a

four-dimensional state. He has since mentored artists as diverse as Christian “Chief Adjuah”

Scott, Darius “Deezle” Harrison, Jonathon Batiste, Esperanza Spaulding, Trombone Shorty, and

The Notorious BIG, just to name a select few. He remains one of the world’s foremost authorities

on the musics housed under the popular name of “jazz.”

In 2024, Harrison will perform and release his new recordings “Magic Touch,” “Congo Square

Suite,” and” The Art of Passion” from his Omniverse Music multi-genre singles concept.

Thich Nhat Hanh, Monk, Zen Master and Activist, Dies at 95

Austin Tang — Fri, 28 Jan 2022 14:29:56 +0000

A monk with global influence and an ally of Martin Luther King, he championed what he called “engaged Buddhism,” applying its principles in pressing for peace.

By Seth Mydans
Published Jan. 21, 2022
Updated Jan. 25, 2022

Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who was one of the world’s most influential Zen masters, spreading messages of mindfulness, compassion and nonviolence, died on Saturday at his home in the Tu Hieu Temple in Hue, Vietnam. He was 95.

The death was announced by Plum Village, his organization of monasteries. He suffered a severe brain hemorrhage in 2014 that left him unable to speak, though he could communicate through gestures.

A prolific author, poet, teacher and peace activist, Thich Nhat Hanh was exiled from Vietnam after opposing the war in the 1960s and became a leading voice in a movement he called “engaged Buddhism,” the application of Buddhist principles to political and social reform.

Traveling widely on speaking tours in the United States and Europe (he was fluent in English and French), Thich Nhat Hanh (pronounced tik nyaht hahn) was a major influence on Western practices of Buddhism, urging the embrace of mindfulness, which his website describes as “the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment.”

In his book “Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life,” he wrote, “If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything.”

His following grew as he established dozens of monasteries and practice centers around the world. The original Plum Village, near Bordeaux in southwest France, is the largest of his monasteries and receives visits from thousands of people a year.

In 2018, he returned home to Hue, in central Vietnam, to live out his last days at the Tu Hieu Temple, where he had become a novice as a teenager.

Thich Nhat Hanh dismissed the idea of death. “Birth and death are only notions,” he wrote in his book “No Death, No Fear.” “They are not real.”

He added: “The Buddha taught that there is no birth; there is no death; there is no coming; there is no going; there is no same; there is no different; there is no permanent self; there is no annihilation. We only think there is.”

That understanding, he wrote, can liberate people from fear and allow them to “enjoy life and appreciate it in a new way.”

His connection with the United States began in the early 1960s, when he studied at Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey and later lectured at Cornell and Columbia. He influenced the American peace movement, urging the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to oppose the Vietnam War.

Dr. King nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967, but the prize was not awarded to anyone that year.

“I do not personally know of anyone more worthy than this gentle monk from Vietnam,” Dr. King wrote to the Nobel Institute in Norway. “His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity.”

Thich Nhat Hanh was born Nguyen Xuan Bao in Hue on Oct. 11, 1926. He joined a Zen monastery at 16 and studied Buddhism there as a novice. Upon his ordination in 1949, he assumed the Dharma name Thich Nhat Hanh. Thich is an honorary family name used by Vietnamese monks and nuns. To his followers he was known as Thay, or teacher.

In the early 1960s, he founded Youth for Social Services, a grass-roots relief organization in what was then South Vietnam. It rebuilt bombed villages, set up schools, established medical centers and reunited families left homeless by the war.

Thich Nhat Hanh began writing and speaking out against the war and in 1964 published a poem called “Condemnation” in a Buddhist weekly. It reads in part:

Whoever is listening, be my witness:
I cannot accept this war.
I never could I never will.
I must say this a thousand times before I am killed.
I am like the bird who dies for the sake of its mate,
dripping blood from its broken beak and crying out:
“Beware! Turn around and face your real enemies
— ambition, violence hatred and greed.”

The poem earned him the label “antiwar poet,” and he was denounced as a pro-Communist propagandist.

Thich Nhat Hanh took up residence in France when the South Vietnamese government denied him permission to return from abroad after the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973.

He was unable to return to Vietnam until 2005, when the Communist government allowed him to teach, practice and travel throughout the country. His antiwar activism continued, and in a talk in Hanoi in 2008 he said the Iraq war had resulted from fear and misunderstanding in which violence fed on itself.

“We know very well that airplanes, guns and bombs cannot remove wrong perceptions,” he said. “Only loving speech and compassionate listening can help people correct wrong perceptions. But our leaders are not trained in that discipline, and they rely only on the armed forces to remove terrorism.”

In 2013, on one of his many visits to centers of influence in the West, he spoke at Google’s headquarters in Silicon Valley, bringing his message of quiet contemplation to the forefront of the high-energy digital age.

“We have the feeling that we are overwhelmed by information,” he told the assembled workers. “We don’t need that much information.”

And he said: “Do not try to find the solution with your thinking mind. Nonthinking is the secret of success. And that is why the time when we are not working, that time can be very productive, if we know how to focus on the moment.”
