He has performed and recorded with John Scofield, Dr. Lonnie Smith, John Lee Hooker, Charlie Hunter, and Stanton Moore, bringing a distinctive blend of jazz, funk, blues, and New Orleans groove to every performance. A true New Orleans original, Donald Harrison is an internationally celebrated saxophonist, composer, bandleader, and cultural ambassador. A former member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Harrison has performed and recorded with Miles Davis, Roy Haynes, Ron Carter, Terence Blanchard, and Dr. John. His signature , "rdquo" -> Nouveau Swing" blends jazz with the rhythms and spirit of New Orleans, funk, R&B, hip-hop, and African music. Mike Clark is one of the most influential jazz-funk drummers of his generation, best known for his groundbreaking work with Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters. His playing on Hancock's landmark Thrust, particularly , "rdquo" -> Actual Proof," helped redefine jazz-funk drumming and influenced generations of musicians. Throughout his career, Clark has also performed and recorded with Chet Baker, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, and John Scofield.
