GIG OF THE WEEK

DONALD HARRISON, JR. (The King of Nouveau Swing) Donald Harrison is being called one of the most important musicians of the new millennium by CBS Sunday Morning. A list of his accomplishments shows that he has developed into a musical category unto himself. In the classic jazz genre, he is the originator of the Nouveau Swing style which merges acoustic swing with modern R&B, second-line, hip-hop, (New Orleans African American roots culture), and reggae rhythms. Donald Harrison, Jr. began working with Roy Haynes at age 19 and Jack McDuff at age 20. He joined Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers at age 21. A few years later, he coled a band with Terence Blanchard that had an enormous impact on the development of the “neo-conservative” movement. Harrison has also discovered and nurtured some of the finest young jazz musicians like the young trumpeter Christian Scott, Mark Whitfield, Dwayne Burno, Christian McBride, and Cyrus Chestnut.
November 15-18, 2012 8PM, 10PM Sunday Matinee 4PM, 8PM, 10PM $20$25
donald harrison Donald Harrison’s latest recording, “Quantum Leap,” is acoustic jazz which retains the whole history of jazz while incorporating the influence of R&B, Soul, Pop, Rock, Afro-New Orleans, Classical, and his new quantum time swing concept into a soulful sound.
