Donald Harrison Tonight you’ll all gather together for a private
performance at The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans by saxophonist, singer and composer Donald Harrison, “The King of Nouveau Swing,” and the Congo Nation Mardi Gras Indians. Donald Harrison pioneered the “Nouveau Swing” style of jazz, which merges the swing beat with popular dance styles of music, as well as styles drawn from his cultural experiences in his hometown of New Orleans. A producer, singer and rapper in the traditional Afro-New Orleans Culture and hip-hop genres, Harrison is the Big Chief of the Congo Nation Afro-New Orleans Cultural Group. He was featured in Spike Lee’s documentary, When the Levees Broke, and broke ground as a consultant, musician and actor on the popular television series Tremé.
