2Truthy's Lunchbreak: Big Chief Donald Harrison Quintet


Here is a fascinating article I came across at ArtsJournal.com, very special thanks to writer Larry Blumenfeld and Big Chief Donald Harrison Quintet. Enjoy!


"Well, the eighth annual Deer Isle Jazz Festival, on a tiny island in Down East Maine, was an unqualified success -- a presentation of the beauty and intensity of New Orleans music within a larger context of its social and political implications. The festival itself has been a labor of love for me, as volunteer producer since its start. This year, it blended with my commitment to and passion for New Orleans -- a city I adore, am concerned about, and miss right now, as I sit and write in Brooklyn."
