For this eveningʼs performance saxophonist, Donald Harrison will lead a supporting ensemble made up of students from Loyolaʼs jazz program in a concert of classic jazz standards and iconic original compositions.
Harrison grew up in a home environment saturated with the cityʼs traditional music of brass bands, parades, modern jazz, r&b, funk, classical, world ethnic, and dance music.
His connection to New Orleans roots were deepened by his father, a Big Chief in the African and Native American influenced culture of New Orleansʼ Black Mardi Gras Indians. The culture is an offshoot culture of Congo Square, one of the only known places in North America where Africans openly participated in their culture in the 1700ʼs and 1800ʼs.
He has performed with an illustrious list of distinguished musicians in Jazz, R & B, Funk, Classical and more : Art Blakey, Roy Haynes, Lena Horne, Ron Carter, Billy Cobham, Eddie Palmieri, Jennifer Holiday, Dr. John, Guruʼs Jazzmatazz, McCoy Tyner, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Miles Davis, Digable Planets, Notorious BIG, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra and The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.
For his critically-acclaimed album Indian Blues, (1991) Harrison created "Nouveau Swing,” a style of jazz that merges modern dance music like r&b, hip-hop, soul, rock, with Afro-New Orleans traditional music. The recording deepened Harrisonʼs commitment to maintaining the offshoot rituals, call and response chants, and drumming of Congo Square alive for the next generation.

To help its students and young alumni conquer the job search, the Loyola University New Orleans Career Development Center is hosting its second annual employment boot camp, EMPLOY the PACK. James Marshall Reilly—an entrepreneur, best-selling author, journalist and founder of New York City media firm, The GUILD Agency—is the newly announced keynote speaker for the Saturday, Jan. 25 conference.
The half-day, professional-caliber employment strategies seminar is available to students and young alumni for free. Featuring one-on-one consultations and on-site employment experts, the conference is set for the St. Charles Room in the Danna Student Center on Loyola’s main campus. EMPLOY the PACK: A Conference for Emerging Professionals will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Reilly’s best-selling book “Shake the World: It’s Not about Finding a Job, It’s about Creating a Life” features in-depth interviews with Tony Hsieh of Zappos, Doug Ulman of LIVESTRONG Foundation and Blake Mycoski of TOMS, along with many other top entrepreneurs, business leaders, philanthropists and social entrepreneurs. Reilly’s book unveils the similarities among some of the nation’s top leaders; he learned that despite their different fields, they are all using similar tools to seize opportunities and redefine success. He will teach EMPLOY the PACK conference attendees how to model those behaviors as a means to achieve and sustain success of their own.
The conference is open to all Loyola junior, senior, graduate students and young alumni, and will offer all participants dynamic solutions to launching your career. More detailed information about additional conference sessions will be available closer to the date. This conference is co-sponsored by the Office of Alumni Relations.
