Press Release Body = - Jazziz Magazine's "Person of the Year" saxophonist Donald Harrison makes a rare appearance in Atlanta at Churchill Grounds on May 18th and 19th. Harrison, known as" The King of Nouveau Swing\" will showcase music from his new smooth jazz release, 3D Vol. I. The recording features Chris Botti, Chuck Loeb, and Eddie Palmieri.
Donald Harrison began recording this CD in 2005. This album marks Harrison's return to the genre of smooth jazz. Harrison's last smooth jazz album was \"The Power of Cool,\" released on CTI records in 1994. According to Harrison, he finished more than half of the recording in his hometown, New Orleans, when Hurricane Katrina halted the production of the album.
In the storm's aftermath, he became inspired to complete the album in spite of his home\'s devastation. Harrison completed \"3D\" by traveling to San Francisco, Atlanta, Boston, N.Y., Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. He also had the support of many musicians, studios, engineers, artists, friends and family. This recording showcases the triumph of the human spirit.
Harrison says "3D Vol. I is a synthesis of Smooth Jazz, R&B, and Funk that will inspire you in any mood." Donald Harrison wrote and produced most of the music on this project.
