His high-energy grooves\, fluid improvisation\, and soulful melodies move from bebop to soul to funk and have entranced audiences around the world. In his hometown\, New Orleans\, he is known as “Big Chief” for his pivotal role in preserving and promoting a tradition of Afro-New Orleans Cultural Groups he inherited from his father\, and that is a vital element of community organization. Don’t miss this spectacular closing concert\, where the Big Chief and his quartet will capture the spirit of New Orleans\, celebrating the legacy and future of jazz in an unforgettable performance. \nDONALD HARRISON – ALTO SAXOPHONE \nDAN KAUFMAN – PIANO \nNORI NARAOKA – BASS \nJOE DYSON – DRUMS \nThis performance and the related education programs are made possible by the Oliver S. and Jennie R.

His innovative contributions to jazz\, soul\, funk\, and classical music have earned him recognition as a master musician of every era. In the HBO series Treme\, director David Simon depicted Harrison’s musical innovations through two characters. Harrison acted and played music in Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme’s film Rachel Getting Married\, Spike Lee’s documentary When the Levees Broke\, and Marvel’s Luke Cage.\n\nAs the recognized Big Chief of Congo Square in Afro-New Orleans culture and a Chief in the Democratic Republic of Congo\, Africa\, Harrison’s influence spans continents. His extensive musical journey includes collaborations with jazz luminaries such as Miles Davis\, McCoy Tyner\, and Ron Carter\, among many others. Harrison’s contributions to jazz extend beyond performance. He pioneered four influential jazz styles\, including the modern jazz take on the New Orleans second-line tradition\, nouveau swing\, quantum improvisation with quantum theorist  Dr. Stephon Alexander\, and multi-genre singles.\n\nIn 2022\, Harrison was honored with the prestigious NEA Jazz Master Award\, recognizing his significant contributions to the genre. Harrison mentored diverse artists throughout his career\, from The Notorious B.I.G. to Jon Batiste\, Christian Scott\, Trombone Shorty\, and Esperanza Spalding. His exploration of music through the lens of quantum physics in the 2000s further expanded the boundaries of jazz\, demonstrating his enduring commitment to innovation and creativity. His upcoming recording\, “The Magic Touch\,” showcases his multi-genre approach to music. It is one song played in nine different genres. The first eight styles are post-bop\, blues\, bossa nova\, reggae\, hip-hop\, second-line\, soul\, and salsa are true to their styles. The ninth version mixes the first eight styles into a coalesced modern jazz style. It is an example of his nouveau swing style\, which uses his experiences playing with jazz’s master innovators from every era to create his concepts.\n\nLearn more here: https://donaldharrison.com/big-chief-donald-harrison  \nAnd here: https://www.arts.gov/honors/jazz/donald-harrison-jr [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkBzAI4CZhQ”][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section disable_element=”yes”][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_single_image image=”20450″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_single_image image=”20449″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1728330342595{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Charleston Jazz Festival \nThe annual Charleston Jazz Festival\, set in the beautiful coastal city of Charleston\, South Carolina\, is a highly anticipated celebration of the city’s rich jazz heritage.

Our friendly ushers will greet you and assist you in finding your way to your seats – there’s not a bad seat in the house! \nOur audience is diverse and you will see patrons of all ages and walks of life\, including couples\, singles\, students\, families\, and groups of friends – jazz has never met a stranger and all are welcome.  Many of our guests are tourists visiting Charleston\, and some of our regular attendees have been coming to concerts since the beginning of the organization.  We hope that you will become one of our “regulars” as well by joining the Charleston Jazz family by becoming a Season Subscriber\, Member\, Sponsor\, Donor\, Student or Advertiser.  There is a place for YOU at Charleston Jazz. \n  \nI have been a season ticket holder since the inception of Charleston Jazz Orchestra for many wonderful reasons.

Her artistry transcends traditional jazz boundaries while reflecting influences from legends like Sarah Vaughan\, Ella Fitzgerald\, and Nancy Wilson. \n“We already knew this free spirit with the willowy\, knife-edged soprano could sing and scat like the dickens\, but who knew she could also write big band arrangements that snap\, crackle\, and groove?”\n—Downbeat Magazine \nIn her Charleston Jazz Festival performance\, Jazzmeia will present a joyous and poignant concert featuring selections from her third studio album\, Dear Love. The album is a stunning exploration of love in its many forms.

The lush arrangements\, coupled with her heartfelt delivery\, create an intimate atmosphere that draws listeners into her world. With Dear Love\, Jazzmeia Horn solidifies her status as a leading voice in contemporary jazz\, inviting audiences to experience the complexities of love through her unique lens. \n“Horn is among the most exciting young vocalists in jazz\, with a proud traditionalism that keeps her tightly linked to the sound of classic figures like Nancy Wilson and Betty Carter\, but a vivacity of spirit and conviction that places her firmly in the present.” \n— The New York Times \n  \nConcert Length: Two hours with a brief intermission[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_single_image image=”20450″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_single_image image=”20449″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1728330342595{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Charleston Jazz Festival \nThe annual Charleston Jazz Festival\, set in the beautiful coastal city of Charleston\, South Carolina\, is a highly anticipated celebration of the city’s rich jazz heritage.

Renowned for his artistry and innovation\, Blanchard is a boundary-breaking force in jazz\, opera\, and film\, crafting music that addresses both historical and contemporary American tragedies. \nAn eight-time Grammy winner and two-time Oscar nominee\, Blanchard has scored over 60 films\, collaborated extensively with Spike Lee\, and made history as the first Black composer to have an opera performed at the Metropolitan Opera with Fire Shut Up in My Bones. TheaterMania hailed him as “the most exciting American composer working in opera today.” \nBorn in New Orleans in 1962\, Blanchard launched his solo career in the 1990s\, releasing 20 albums and earning 15 Grammy nominations. His works\, including the civil rights-inspired Breathless\, amplify issues of racial and social justice. In 2024\, he was named an NEA Jazz Master and inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. \nCurrently serving as Executive Artistic Director of SFJAZZ\, Blanchard continues to redefine genres\, using his music to inspire\, challenge\, and uplift audiences worldwide.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=”flat” shape=”square” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”The Experience” tab_id=”1687923810144-42574a89-d6c9″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1741709668594{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nWe’re excited to welcome you to the 2025 Charleston Jazz Festival\, now expanded to an incredible 9 days of jazz events.

Our friendly ushers will greet you and assist you in finding your way to your seats – there’s not a bad seat in the house! \nOur audience is diverse and you will see patrons of all ages and walks of life\, including couples\, singles\, students\, families\, and groups of friends – jazz has never met a stranger and all are welcome.  Many of our guests are tourists visiting Charleston\, and some of our regular attendees have been coming to concerts since the beginning of the organization.  We hope that you will become one of our “regulars” as well by joining the Charleston Jazz family by becoming a Season Subscriber\, Member\, Sponsor\, Donor\, Student or Advertiser.  There is a place for YOU at Charleston Jazz. \n  \nI have been a season ticket holder since the inception of Charleston Jazz Orchestra for many wonderful reasons. The caliber of performances are spectacular. Their musical selections appeal to all musical tastes regardless of age. The Music Hall is the perfect venue for such a group of phenomenal artists. \n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \nLil H.\, Google Review \n  \nWe love the Charleston Jazz Orchestra!

Our friendly ushers will greet you and assist you in finding your way to your seats – there’s not a bad seat in the house! \nOur audience is diverse and you will see patrons of all ages and walks of life\, including couples\, singles\, students\, families\, and groups of friends – jazz has never met a stranger and all are welcome.  Many of our guests are tourists visiting Charleston\, and some of our regular attendees have been coming to concerts since the beginning of the organization.  We hope that you will become one of our “regulars” as well by joining the Charleston Jazz family by becoming a Season Subscriber\, Member\, Sponsor\, Donor\, Student or Advertiser.  There is a place for YOU at Charleston Jazz. \n  \nI have been a season ticket holder since the inception of Charleston Jazz Orchestra for many wonderful reasons.

He began by studying piano at the age of 5 and continued his studies at Loyola University down in New Orleans. While in the Big Easy\, he was able to craft his own sound by listening and playing with some of the best local musicians. He spearheaded a project called NuSpeak\,  which would go on to play at Tipitina’s and other local venues. At the same time\, he would gig with his trio throughout the city and end up playing at Jazz Fest as well. After graduating from college he moved back to his hometown where he is now a staple piano player throughout the Charleston area. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=”https://youtube.com/shorts/Aq1y3aEBRMM?si=yDSxCfgBrVP9784-“][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
