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.
