Saxophonist, jazz educator, Mardi Gras Indian historian, classical composer — Donald Harrison, Jr.’s career has spanned four decades, multiple artistic careers — and he continues to evolve.

MUSICIAN WE LOVE:

DONALD HARRISON, JR. PHOTOS: © Donald Harrison, Jr.

Inside New Orleans

You’ve played sax behind huge jazz artists like Art Blakey and have taught chart-topping artists like Trombone Shorty. Where’s your inspiration come from? I have what I call a big bag of ideas. I’ve played with so many different types of artists, from Afro-Cuban to some of the greatest Brazilian musicians, jazz, soul, classical musicians… I have a lot of things to draw from. The way I look at it, it’s like gumbo — I can pick and choose from different styles, and I spend a lot of time trying to understand what great musicians have done.

And that also helped develop a genre called “Nouveau Swing” that you’re credited for creating, right? Correct. I had this revelation a long time ago that the tribal music of New Orleans and African drum patterns I grew up dancing to could be put to swing music, to create this hybrid sound that’s very funky.

You’ve taught some very notable musicians through your involvement with the Tipitina’s Foundation, such as The Late Show bandleader Jon Batiste. What’s been your role with that organization? My idea was to share the insight I have into the music business to help students become professionals in high school, so that they could get ahead of the curve, and to be successful for college in general. Some of the master musicians told me to pass on what they’re doing, and if it’s having any influence on my students, I’m proud.

You’re also known for your involvement with the Mardi Gras Indians.

You’re also honoring your father’s legacy with your contributions to the Donald Harrison, Sr. Museum and Guardians Institute. I’ve got some [Mardi Gras Indian] suits in there, and some other artifacts. The museum gives voice to other people who contributed to the Mardi Gras Indian culture. There was a long time when you could find pictures of people who participated, and there would be the name of the photographer but not the person in the photo. Since we’re part of the culture, we always put the Indian’s name and what they did in there. That makes the person in the image just as important as the photographer. We tell their story.

Where else can you experience the kind of New Orleans culture you’re talking about? The Cabildo and The Old U.S. Mint have a lot of great stuff. The Backstreet Cultural Museum, too. Go see Mardi Gras World while you’re here. It’s fun for people who are visiting to see them building the floats. It’s the one place you can see them while you’re not chasing for beads!

Donald Harrison, Jr.’s Best Bets: 1. SNUG HARBOR JAZZ BISTRO

Yes. I work with the Congo Square Nation Afro-New Orleans cultural group. I feel fortunate that I was named Big Chief of Congo Square, which is such an important location in American music history. We honor the music that people made there, which I call AfroNew Orleans music but really, it’s American music.

2. TIPITINA’S

One thing I want to say about New Orleans: It’s a city in two countries. New Orleans is like an island, but it’s in America. All that gets mixed together. The texture and feeling of the city exists nowhere else. People here are so loving. Once you come here, you have to come back.

-------------- Culture -------------For a great introduction to the New Orleans lifestyle and LGBT community, take a Twirl with Glenn De Villier, New Orleans historian and writer. This gay history tour brings a native’s perspective, humor, and Southern graciousness to the sometimes illusive facets that compose the charm and beauty of our “Queen City of the South”. For something less structured visit the newest addition to the local arts scene: the St. Claude Arts District. The galleries here have become one of America’s largest and most cohesive alternative-arts districts thanks to an inspired community and the contemporary art biennial Prospect New Orleans.

New Orleans has long been a Southern oasis to the LGBT community. As one of Travel + Leisure’s Top 5 Gay Friendly Cities and Advocate’s 2017 Queerest Cities in America, the Crescent City sets a welcoming, inclusive example. The charming culture, perpetual romance, and treasure trove of hidden gems and secrets have made New Orleans a thriving LGBT-friendly mecca for travelers. Take a trip. We promise you’ll fall in love one way or another. PHOTOS: ©New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation

Historically described as “an acre of seats in a garden of Florentine splendor,” the restored Saenger Theatre plays host to all kinds of events like Broadway shows, concerts, and comedians. A little more off the beaten path is Cafe Istanbul, a performance hall beloved by local artists.

-------------- Romance -------------Love is in the air! New Orleans is well-known as a top destination for romance. Now that marriage rights have been fully extended to all LGBT citizens, there’s even more reason to celebrate and explore. Let the passion and enchantment of our beloved city set the mood for your own love story.

JULY

-------------- Where to Stay -------------The Catahoula Hotel is a boutique hotel in downtown New Orleans, located near the French Quarter and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Originally built in 1845, the hotel resides in a restored Creole townhouse nestled on a quiet side street in the Central Business District. If you want classic New Orleans — elegant, romantic, distinctly southern, and possibly haunted — the Hotel Monteleone is a must. After you check in, be sure to have a classic New Orleans cocktail at the famous Carousel Bar in the lobby.

-------------- Explore -------------Some of the most exciting discoveries for first-timers and locals alike are French Quarter courtyards. Often out of plain site, these half-hidden jewels are seductive and offer an alluring, more intimate escape from the busy Downtown streets. You can dine in one when you visit The All New Feelings Cafe & Courtyard Bar, Cafe Amelie or Sylvain, three of our most enchanting New Orleans restaurants. From there, get lost wandering around some of the quieter areas like Barracks and Governor Nicholls streets or go antique shopping along Royal Street. For a perfect date in NOLA, start with brunch at Elizabeth’s, then cross over to Crescent Park for an amazing view of New Orleans. Keep making your way along the Mississippi River past the Steamboat Natchez and peruse shops at The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk. For a more personalized shopping experience, visit Friend in the Central Business District. Afterwards, head to the James Beard Award-winning Shaya for an unforgettable dining experience. City Park is a great daytime alternative for local romance. Have a picnic or paddleboard along the lake — there’s even an intimate gondola ride to quietly guide you through the park’s breathtaking lagoons. Afterward, head over to Swirl Wine Bar, a place to have fun, relax and feel at home learning about, buying, or drinking wine, and socializing with friends.

Inside New Orleans

GETTING AROUND Perhaps the toughest part of navigating New Orleans isn’t deciding how to get around, but where to go once you’re there! The city has dozens of options for getting to wherever you want to be.

Exploring the French Quarter and beyond ©Miles/Chris Granger

Measuring less than a mile wide, the French Quarter is easily covered by foot. Should you prefer riding to walking, pedicab companies operate throughout the neighborhood. Mule-drawn carriages are another option, and to see the Quarter from another perspective, ride the Algiers/ Canal Street Ferry to historic Algiers Point, where a bicycle and walking path on the levee overlooks the river. Other bikefriendly parks include the Lafitte Greenway and Crescent Park.

Shopping, dining, nightlife and wildlife in the Garden District and Uptown For a mere $1.25, the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line goes past historic homes in the upscale Garden District. An insider’s tip: bring exact change for your streetcar conductor. Beyond the Garden District is Uptown, home to the Audubon Zoo and the dining and entertainment hubs of Oak Street and Maple Street. All are also easily reachable via rideshare services including Uber and Lyft, and by taxi or car.

Another can’t-miss Garden District and Uptown attraction is Magazine Street, a six-mile-long shopping and dining paradise that is on the No. 11 bus route. Download the RTA GoMobile app for iPhone to purchase passes for the bus or streetcar.

City Park, New Orleans Museum of Art and Esplanade Ridge riches Urban adventurers will love New Orleans City Park, home to the New Orleans Museum of Art. Bike, drive or take a taxi beneath the oak trees lining Esplanade Avenue, or take the Canal Street streetcar to the park. Once there, you can rent kayaks, paddleboards, bikes and paddleboats.

Beyond the city limits Plantation tours are among Louisiana’s top attractions, and many are within an hour’s drive of New Orleans. Numerous tour operators will pick you up from your hotel for your plantation tour (many also offer swamp tour options).

Airport options Whether you’re coming to town or headed home, you’ll find many rental car and limo companies to get you to and from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.

There are many more ways to get around New Orleans. Visit neworleanscvb.com/visit/travel-planning for a list of these and other travel options available. ©Algiers Ferry

Inside New Orleans

YOUR NOLA ARCHITECTURE CHECKLIST One of the best ways to get to know New Orleans is through its picturesque, historical homes. Here are a few of the city’s most prominent architectural styles, and shops, the accommodations and restaurants where you can see them from the inside.

Then you have…

creole Cottage If it has…

Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop ©flickr/Karrie Smith

A high, steep side-gable roof A brick chimney Wooden storm shutters Four front openings (typically two windows and two doors)

The Creole Cottage. Upscale French Quarter Creole restaurant Bayona is housed in a gorgeous Creole cottage with a romantic courtyard. Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, a Bourbon Street bar built in 1732, is another variety of Creole cottage.

Center Hall Cottage If it has… One-and-a-half stories, with a front entrance Columns running the length of a wide porch, with the front door centered Side-gabled roofs, often with dormer windows Pere Antoine ©flickr/Samuel Uy

creole townhouse If it has… Two- to three-stories Wrought or cast iron-skirted balcony Hidden rear courtyards A brick or stucco exterior

Then you have… The Center Hall Cottage. The BeauregardKeyes House museum is a fine example of this style in the French Quarter, as is Ashton’s Bed and Breakfast in the Esplanade Ridge Historic District.

Then you have… The Creole Townhouse. See the inside of one of these beauties at Creole restaurant Pere Antoine, gift stores Razzle Dazzle and Forever New Orleans, and the Pontalba Buildings that surround Jackson Square.

Inside New Orleans

Greek Revival House If it has… Full-height porches with round columns or boxed piers A parapet (a short wall running the length of the roof) Wide, flat trim around outside windows and doors called a “Greek-key surround”

WAYS TO DAY-TRIP IT When you plan a trip to New Orleans, it’s easy to set your sights solely on the attractions of the city proper. But take our word for it: There are some awesome adventures to be had just a short drive away.

Tour the Plantations of River Road West of New Orleans is a 70-mile long stretch of highway known as River Road, where you’ll find more than a dozen grand plantation homes that recall south Louisiana’s history as an agricultural powerhouse. Lucky for visitors, many of them are open to the public. Here’s what is unique about each of them: u Destrehan Plantation is the closest plantation to New Orleans and the oldest in the lower Mississippi Valley. u Houmas House Plantation & Gardens is home to no fewer than four outstanding restaurants and massive wine cellars housed in converted historic water cisterns. u Laura Plantation tours take visitors into the lives of the Creoles who lived there, whose stories are based on the diaries of former resident Laura Locoul.

©Oak Alley Plantation

u Nottoway Plantation is remarkable for its sheer size. With 64 rooms, it easily claims the distinction of being the South’s largest antebellum mansion. u Oak Alley Plantation is perhaps the most photographed plantation on River Road. The plantation even hosts an annual photography contest that receives hundreds of submissions.

©Laura Plantation

u San Francisco Plantation stands out for its gingerbread house style architectural details and elaborate hand-painted ceilings. u St. Joseph Plantation has been owned by the same family since the 1870s, and many of its descendants today lead tours of the property. u Whitney Plantation is the only plantation museum devoted to telling the history of slavery in America.

Insider's Tip Sometimes called a "French donut," these decadent treats were brought to Louisiana by the Acadians. A beignet is a square piece of dough that, upon being deep fried, forms a slightly doughy yet slightly crispy pillow and is covered with powdered sugar. There are other savory versions, with fillings such as crawfish or shrimp also seen on New Orleans menus.

New Orleans' Signature Sandwich The po-boy is the sandwich of New Orleans. In 1929, restaurateurs Bennie and Clovis Martin gave free sandwiches to striking streetcar workers as a sign of solidarity, often saying “here comes another poor boy.” These days, you order your own po-boy “dressed” with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo, served up with a variety of meats and cheeses.

A fixed rate of $36 (two people) is charged from the airport to most areas of New Orleans; for parties of more than two, the fare is $15 per person. RATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE. BUS Bus routes extend to almost every corner of the city, and the fare is $1.25 (plus 25¢ per transfer). Express buses cost $1.50.
