BIO

New Orleans-born saxophonist 2022 NEA Jazz Master Big Chief Donald
Harrison Jr. is a musician/composer whom master musicians consider a master
of every era of jazz, soul, funk, and a composer of orchestral classical music. He
is also a genius, according to geniuses like Eddie Palmieri and Mike Clark. His
alma mater, The Berklee College of Music, awarded him an Honorary Doctorate
in 2021. In the HBO drama Treme, 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 “Treme,” in Oscar-winning
director Johnathon Demme’s film “Rachel Getting Married,” in Spike Lee’s
“When The Levee’s Broke” documentary, and Marvel’s “Luke Cage.” This
talented artist is the recognized Big Chief of Congo Square in Afro-New Orleans
culture and was Chiefted in 2019 by Queen Diambi Kabatusuila from the
Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa.

expanded music from a two-dimensional state into a four-dimensional state.
