"I don't care what kind of style a group plays as long as they settle into a groove where the rhythm keeps building instead of changing around. It's like the way an African hits a drum. He hits it a certain way, and after a period of time, you feel it more than you did when he first started. He's playing the same thing, but the quality is different -- it's settled into a groove. It's like settin' tobacco in a pipe. You put some heat on it and make it expand. After a while, it's there. It's tight." - Lou Donaldson |

 Donald Harrison
Alto saophonist Donald Harrison a.k.a The King of Nouveau Swing is one of the few musicians who can play it all - from traditional New Orleans, to swing, bop, post-bop, modern, smooth, avant-garde, and beyond. Yet, Harrison has developed his own personal style that traverses and synthesizes all these mediums with great success. Harrison describes his new recording, "Quantum Leap" as "the crossroads where jazz tradition meets soul, science and today's dance music. It's jazz for mind, body and soul: I call it roots to infinity." He will be celebrating this CD release at the Jazz SHowcase in Chicago on Thursday, November 15th through Sunday, November 18th. |
