I plan to attend and I hope four of my Hampton University students who are curious about the event can find a find ride and also attend.
I first saw Harrison perform in 1980 with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. One of those adolecesent Messengers was a little-known trumpet player, Wynton Marsalis. His debut album was released few months later.
