Remastered by Bernie Grundman!
Collaboration with the Legendary Dr. John on Double LP!

NEA Jazz Master Big Chief Donald Harrison, Jr. is one of finest saxophonists of his generation. His resume includes long associations with Terrance Blanchard and Art Blakey throughout the 1980s. But the foundation of Harrison's music (and it's the soul of his music) comes from his lifelong participation in the culture of New Orleans, his hometown.

Here he pays tribute to that rich culture, accompanied by none other than the legendary Dr. John. Both artists the embodiment of New Orleans' music in their own right.

The album features a mix of original compositions and jazz standards, all infused with the spirit and energy of New Orleans. Featuring the Mardi Gras Indian chants of The Guardians of the Flame, this recording captures the magic and heritage of New Orleans Mardi Gras music and wraps it all up in one package.

Originally recorded at BMG Studios in New York City, May of 1991. Remastered by Bernie Grundman.
