Not only does he look like my late father, he plays piano just like him! The song is definitely a song my Daddy would play.....his very fav was Girl from Ipenema. This brings back memories of waking up Saturday morning to him playing piano or trumpet. RIP to both these Kings!
Love that ending -- what a great showman and brilliant piano player. I'll be attending his weekly workshop in New York in August for two sessions. Age 87 and he's still at it.
Wow man treasure that experience!!!! Use your mental camera, don't waste a second worrying about shooting video or taking selfies!!!! Have fun and congrats!
When Sonny Stitt did Ray's Idea with Mr. Harris, Mr. Stitt, as great as he was, sounded more heartfelt and free than l had ever heard him. Such a beautiful personality. Thank God he is still with us.
Back when Barry was in a good pianistic and creative shape. He made seasoned musicians like Bob Cranshaw and Grady Tate smile with approval. And that is better than any Grammy Awards!
Cody Copland - Still is what?......He is but a pale shadow of his former self. You have to admit that if you are honest. Age knows no mercy and has no respect. That's a sad fact of life, my friend! And facts don't care about your feelings!
Have to disagree my brother. I just spent some time with him and he was working something out on Yesterdays. I'd never heard it before. It was Beautiful. I accept that his left hand hasn't been the same since the stroke in 93 but in terms of his creativity, he's at his best right now.
Nate Smith, LPC-- i may not live that long. We respect and love Barry. But to say he's as good as ever is to disrespect and underrate his playing when he was at the top form.
@@MingusDynastyy which makes it even more impressive... he managed to make all his phrases warm even with hardened fingers. Even the small samples and scales he plays during lessons sound so warm. Just go watch his series with Eli Yamin and compare their touches.
Since you can't comment on Barry teaching videos for some reason i am commenting on this one . I think that Barry is one of the most amazing teachers but he is very close minded on his teaching. He also tells his student to play his way and that is not being a good teacher a good teacher is suppose help you be a better you. Give you the tools to fly like a bird. Not tell you exactly how to play. He actually said that everybody is playing jazz wrong. He talked bad about Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans. like i said he is a brilliant person to learn from and great ideas. But Jazz is not all about bebop.
This is very very sad. This the 5th time you tube has altered what i have said in the comment section. I never ever say fly like a bird. They added that. And that is not the first time you tube as change what i have said. Watch out people big brother is watching you. Also the sad thing is that i am not saying anything derogatory.
Barry Harris as brilliant as ever. I hate to say it but I thought the bass player was a little slack. It sounded as though he wasn't listening to Barry enough and at a few points didn't swing with him. Nonetheless, a truly great performance from a truly great musician - thanks for sharing!
Sorry Mr.Harris I'm just not impressed with the dynamics of your piano playing...I think Bill Evans showed more dynamics in tone and chord progression and tempo as well....
