Alto saxophonist Harrison, a 1981 Berklee alumnus, is a New Orleans-born traditionalist, a modern jazz trendsetter, a former Jazz Messenger, a nurturer of young talent, a composer, and a bandleader. A kind of Crescent City Renaissance man, Harrison has performed with a musical who’s who that includes Art Blakey, Dr. John, Digable Planets, Lena Horne, and Miles Davis, to name just a few. An artist in residence at Tulane University, Harrison’s most recent recording is "This Is Jazz: Live at the Blue Note," with Billy Cobham and Ron Carter, and New Orleans Gumbo with Dr. John.

Donald Harrison - saxophone, Santiago Bosch - piano, Osmar Okuma - bass, Darryl Staves – drums
