His performances traverse all eras of jazz, making him a true advocate for the culture. Enjoy one of the greatest living jazz artists!
Hailing from New Orleans, one of the birthplaces of jazz, Donald Harrison is deeply rooted in its cultural and musical traditions. Influenced by his heritage in the Mardi Gras traditions of New Orleans, he champions an eclectic musical style that brings together African American musical traditions. For him, a tradition-conscious outlook toward the future is not just a cliché but a lived expression of music in the here and now. Whether as a young saxophonist in the legendary Jazz Messengers with drummer Art Blakey, later leading his band with trumpeter Terence Blanchard, collaborating with his nephew Chief Adjuah (Christian Scott) and Mulgrew Miller, or recently performing in a trio with the esteemed Ron Carter and Billy Cobham, Harrison embodies both tradition and innovation. He is ever-curious and serves as a mentor to others.
