  • Summary

  • Today, we’re honored to be joined by a true cultural torchbearer — saxophonist, composer, bandleader, and Big Chief of the Congo Square Nation… Donald Harrison.

    From second-line rhythms in New Orleans to classical orchestration, nouveau swing to trap-infused jazz — Donald Harrison’s musical reach is nothing short of cosmic. In this episode, we dive deep into his creative process, his groundbreaking orchestral work like the Congo Square Suite, and his vision for connecting ancestral sounds with modern innovation, including his mind-bending new project in quantum improvisation.

    We talk about how his music reflects the shared soul between cities like Charleston and New Orleans — and what audiences can expect when he headlines the Charleston Jazz Festival on April 27.

    Plus, we explore how Harrison is shaping the future of music through mentorship, multi-genre storytelling, and a lifetime of turning sound into spirit.

    So whether you're tuning in from the Lowcountry or the Crescent City, from a porch swing or a subway ride — get ready to travel through rhythm, history, and heart.
