Artists House Master Class Barry Harris - Performance

In this clip from www.artistshousemusic.org - Barry Harris in conjunction with NYU and Artists House Foundation presented a Master Class on November 14th, 2004. Barry charmed us with his talent, humor and the beautiful choral choir scattered through the audience, a surprise and delight to those of us attending. Dr. Harris, a renowned jazz pianist, composer and teacher is a Detroit-bred jazz musician and keeper of the bebop flame. Dizzie Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins have influenced Harris' jazz style and you will hear Harris mention some of these masters in the video. In this master class, you get a taste of Harris' extensive knowledge and love of teaching and how he continues to serve as a mentor to developing pianists.

He's so good you can almost hear the brushes on the snare and muted trumpet playing along with him.

[@RodZilla11]

Man I was thinking the same thing! I wish I could play piano. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@r.j.wheels6755]

Indeed. A true master of jazz piano

[@odairbonfim]

I can hear a double bass too.

[@davidgerber9317]

Every single time I've heard Mr. Harris play and/or speak, I feel like I am a better person for it. So much to aspire to both as a musician and a human being.

[@sinethembayantolo]

I echo with you on this one.

[@glennlopez6772]

True!

[@guidemeChrist]

usually yeah but the sexist thing at 35:00 though

[@polocisneros]

This is the power of YT, it gives you insights into people, culture, places & events you never in your life would have seen otherwise. What a gem this video is!

[@Gospelmusiciantv]

That's right

[@cheeseaddict]

I wish in our lifetime we all have had enough time to learn, and that's for everything. There are people that devote their life to something, and even near the end they are still learning. Maybe somewhere here after we get enough time to understand, what a legend, love you Harris

[@educapro]

After watching this guy for a few months, I've come to understand his Master Classmanship...a true master.

[@Tmokkeys]

2-6-4-7 should be titled “When my mind met my heart”

[@ruanof7]

This guy was a selfless giving teacher ... I'm proud of him, love him !!!!!!!!!

[@PINKALIMBA]

Me: KZbin, recommend me some jazz piano performance. YT: Don't worry son, I gotcha.

[@metinkaraca2190]

Mr. Barry Harris creates addiction, I listen him once and now I can not stop.

[@abnuridd24]

Keep in mind that Barry Harris at his old age was still practicing. After everything he accomplished and learned, he was still learning. Because you never stop learning and trying to improve.

[@SueKohsings]

Barry Harris you are such a gentle loving soul !!! You're genius at the piano is so special and beyond words.

[@noogie13]

Rest in peace to the greatest. I'll continue to listen to this every few days for the rest of my life.

[@arzinia]

A master Elder!..After fifty years of listening, I love Barry Harris!!..

[@hasans]

Seems like it took a while to love him :)

[@arzinia]

LOL..I should have said after listening, and playing with and being taught by this master elder, I honor his presence and am astounded by his clarity..

[@carlinwoods245]

Our Ancient Ancestors said a human experiences two deaths. once when the physical body perishes and secondly whentheir name is no longer spoken. The name of BARRY HARRIS is spoken more and more since the day he passed on...BARRY HARRIS LIVES..................................................................................................

[@anthonymclendon2016]

I HAVE NEVER MET BARRY HARRIS , BUT AFTER LISTENING/ LEARNING FROM HIS PIANO LESSONS SITE I'M CALLING HIM " UNCLE BARRY " . MUCH RESPECT TO THIS MASTER MUSICIAN OF MUSIC.

[@gregorybiche89]

this man's playing and speaking are like a lens to me; brining in focus so many things that I knew were there, but they were too fuzzy to really understand

[@zachdixonmusic]

That nacimento was so cute when they all sang. Omg. yess.

[@18echosf]

How something this simple can be so complex is incredible. I absolutely loved this. I'm actually in awe of Barry's musicality.

Thank you for this video. Such a joy to feel his ambiance and love coming through. Some of my best outings I had when I lived in NY were catching gigs in the Village Vanguard for the Monday night Big Band and then hearing Barry perform at Bradley's on University Place. Total inspiration indeed .

[@emmanuelburney826]

True Master classes as he is a real masterful player who then explains exactly what he did. Such a lost art. Each vid I watch something makes a little more sense than the way I learned it. Dr Harris is Surely, my one of my favorite teacher/players. I Wish I could’ve studied with him. Thanks for your service, sir!

I learn to play jazz both ways,theory and playing ..after many years i am able to hold the sound of the chords in my mind ,the progression,...how come? if you practice the arpegios for ever..they dictate the sound of the chords..

That key change into the “Breeze song”

[@marcusguyton9747]

I'm an aspiring jazz pianist, but I've been playing (Self Taught) for 4 years. I got into Jazz about a year ago. I wonder how long it would take me to play as humble and as elegantly as Mr. Harris. A wonderful teacher, and a funny one too!

[@WilliamSlaght]

+Marcus Guyton It'll take you around 10 years to understand everything he's doing to a theoretical level, but to perform it? Depends on your natural talent, hard-work and effort. It can take 10 years to 50 years. All the young cats I see who have amazing technique already are the ones who have been playing since kids.

[@homelessinpeckham1094]

You can't put a time limit on learning. The best you can do is keep learning as much as you can, and master the basics. There many other factors that go into becoming great, but that's all I can elaborate on for now

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

you'll never stop learning, in jazz you're always a student, there's more stuff to seek and find. it's a never ending game.

[@AndreasDelleske]

Play random chords in random voicings and then take your time to listen where the chords will lead you to. Don’t produce, just listen. Wrap yourself in sound. Take time. Play around with 2 5 1... listen. Just listen. Allow for sadness. Give up to know, fingers will figure something out. Life is so short anyway. Soon, we’ll all be gone. To use time for play is the only comfort. No one knows why this is. Cry and be happy, it’s all there is.

[@bornamovafaghi6075]

Learn theory, forget theory, and then play

[@twli]

Why am I crying?

[@RodZilla11]

One of the few regrets I have in life is that I never got to meet Dr. Harris in person not saw him play in person. 😢😢😢
