HARRISON CREATED “NOUVEAU SWING,” A STYLE OFF JAZZ THAT MERGES IT
WITH MODERN DANCE MUSIC LIKE R&B, HIP-HOP, SOUL AND ROCK. OVER TWENTY
YEARS AGO, HE ALSO COMBINED JAZZ WITH AFRO-NEW ORLEANS TRADITIONAL
MUSIC ON HIS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AND INFLUENTIAL ALBUMS “INDIAN
BLUES” IN 1991 AND “SPIRITS OF CONGO SQUARE” IN 2000. THESE
RECORDS DEEPENED HIS COMMITMENT TO MAINTAINING THE OFFSHOOT RITUALS,
CALL AND RESPONSE CHANTS AND DRUMMING AS WELL AS HIS DETERMINATION TO
KEEP TRADITIONAL TO MODERN JAZZ MUSIC ALIVE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
