From Miles Davis and Art Blakey to Nouveau Swing, George Ingmire talks with saxophonist Donald Harrison Jr. about how he follows Charlie Parker’s motto “If you didn’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn.” We learn how Donald set out to meet and play with the greatest jazz musicians he could find and make the experiences a part of himself. Listen to this week’s New Orleans Calling, to hear George discuss Donald’s personal inspirations to the importance of experiences and collaborations with both older and younger musicians. Plus we have a special live set by Donald, recorded for New Orleans Calling at the historic Basin St Station.
