Barry Harris talks about singing a ballad 

0:55 "Give me an intro... intro with a little sum" words before the most majestic piano playing I've heard for a long while.

this piano player will feel like a beast for the rest of his life guaranteed

This video should be preserved in the Smithsonian for ALL future generations.

I love it when Barry Harris sings, not perfect, but beautiful in his own way.

When Barry Harris reacts to your playing like he does at 4:17 you can now happily retire from the piano knowing you just unlocked the secret BOSS LEVEL on the hardest setting and got the highest possible score with flawless perfect health. Biggest compliment ever from the master, and a real treat to hear. Thank you for sharing ❤

Held my tears during the intro's second bar

That "you must believe in spring" quote at 2:32 hit me hard. Daaaang.

I love when the pianist did the tritone sub and Barry was happy

i find myself regularly revisiting this video - words cannot express how happy i am this magical moment happened, was recorded, AND shared for us all to enjoy at any time on RU-vid. thank you!!

This video.. totally blows my mind. The way he shared his legacy with many others.. it seems like animals give away those own instict to their offsprings. Each time I watch his video I always learn a lot about humanity. Thank you Mr. Harris.

Keep coming back to this video, such wonderful piano playing

Oh man we definitely need a record "Barry Harris sings"

So no one's gonna talk about that intro ? :O So sublime and pretty!

It must be great to still be so relevant and useful even at that age. What a wonderful man he was - a real blessing to all those young musicians and singers. He has left a legacy for players and listeners alike.

I must admit Barry is the one who really help me understand jazz the way I hoped., great teacher! He helped make sense of jazz .. Thanks Mr Barry!

Wow that was amazing. How joyful does learning get? Those people in that room are so lucky - the piano player will carry that experience for life. What a master Mr Harris is.

The Master.

RIP THE GOAT

I can only hope that I will be as sharp as Barry Harris at his age. His beautiful music keeps him forever young.

So beautiful. Rest in Legacy Barry Harris 🙏🏽

Gorgeous Piano playing.

Thanks a lot Tomas for this and all the rest you share! It's very lovely of you. This One was Amazing! He's voice was at its best here. Our Barry! ❤️ May he stay in peace.

Wow nice piano, so classy!

Wonderful. So good to see Barry. And the pianist is exceptional, really great. I remember Barry telling us to sing 6 against 8 in NYC almost 20 years ago. I still haven’t figured out how to do it, but this definitely helped.

The Maestro. Magnificent, always.

Pianist is amasing

Beautiful! Thank you so much for filming and posting!

Wonderful!!

My goodness the pianist seems to have totally soaked up Barry Harris' harmonic framework.

Hey Tomasz That piano player is really good man. Say hi to him from me. And i miss you!!!

Who's the pianist? Lovely!

That intro is in my head for like 2days now .. its so beautifull🎶 can somebody make a tutorial video of it??

Oh Barry!

Genius

Does anybody knows where the lyrics for this version Barry sings comes from?

Thanks for sharing

Rip Barry

what are those lyrics he’s singing after the head? Improvisation? Vocalese lyrics? please help!

I can't find all the lyrics Barry Harris sings here in the Gerwin song. Is there a longer version somewhere?

beautiful... and who was the pianist? Was that you, Tomasz?

Oh! Bird did the 6 over 4 phrasing when playing ballads didn’t he?

Piano player was easily one of the best students of Barry teachings. Anyone know his name?

i’m going to put a transcription i’ve almost finished of what the pianist is playing in this video, but i need some help! does anyone know his name?

dope

Rest easy Legend and hey thanks for teaching a cat ✊🏼

Can someone tell me who’s the pianist?

Yoda

This looks like Cantina Bentivoglio.

Rest in minor 3rds Barry

I was there. I hated that the guy was constantly talking over him. But it was a beautiful experience anyways.

So Beautiful
