Donald Harrison with Will Bernard and Mike Clark

Super Session: Will Bernard, Donald Harrison & Mike Clark

Prepare for a remarkable night of jazz, funk, improvisation, and New Orleans groove as three acclaimed musicians come together for a rare Super Session at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro.

Will Bernard is an inventive, Grammy-nominated guitarist whose genre-bending career spans jazz, funk, hip-hop, world music, and experimental improvisation. He has performed and recorded with Dr. Lonnie Smith, Dr. John, Tom Waits, Booker T. Jones, and George Porter Jr. His work with T.J. Kirk, featuring Charlie Hunter, earned a Grammy nomination.

A true New Orleans original, Donald Harrison is an internationally celebrated saxophonist, composer, bandleader, and cultural ambassador. A former member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Harrison has performed and recorded with Miles Davis, Roy Haynes, Ron Carter, Terence Blanchard, and Dr. John. His signature "Nouveau Swing" blends jazz with the rhythms and spirit of New Orleans, funk, R&B, hip-hop, and African music.

Mike Clark is one of the most influential jazz-funk drummers of his generation, best known for his groundbreaking work with Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters. His playing on Hancock's landmark Thrust, particularly "Actual Proof," helped redefine jazz-funk drumming and influenced generations of musicians. Throughout his career, Clark has also performed and recorded with Chet Baker, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, and John Scofield. His dynamic, groove-centered approach has made him a major force in jazz and funk.

Together, Bernard, Harrison, and Clark bring decades of musical experience and a shared love of improvisation to the Snug Harbor stage. This event is co-sponsored by NOLA x NOLA.
