Barry Harris talks about singing a ballad

[@Christian_antonach]

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

[@ChrisCadenhead]

his ENTIRE life

[@GestattenWinnetou]

Oh yes👍🏻 He‘s very good.

[@brenonparmar2244]

Yessir

[@PabloCardonaMusic]

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.

[@tonywolton]

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

[@dr.brianjudedelimaphd743]

Actually, I believe it is perfect because its NOT perfect (does that make any sense ?)

[@tarikeld11]

​@@dr.brianjudedelimaphd743 Yes, it sounds so natural that way

[@strings41]

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

fr...someone should "ahem" download it

[@EliaGaitau]

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 ❤

[@18waywardson]

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

[@KayBenyarko]

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

[@WilliamSlaght]

Well it was more than merely a tritone sub however.

[@ecaepevolhturt]

@@WilliamSlaght Can you explain what happened harmonically, we'd all be very gratefully.

[@ecaepevolhturt]

@@WilliamSlaghtOkay.

[@ecaepevolhturt]

@Halcyonacoustic Thank you so much!!!

[@Ezekielyo]

The bass player follows him so its most likely planned or written.

[@pogface]

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 KZbin. thank you!!

[@luxolontamo4440]

Held my tears during the intro's second bar

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

The Master.

[@ecaepevolhturt]

2:10 - Do you have any idea what the chords are?

[@guidemeChrist]

@@ecaepevolhturt go to your instrument and figure them out lol

[@ecaepevolhturt]

@@guidemeChrist Some nice BH fan already answered my question, "Anyway, the chords: instead of iii -vi - ii - V, they play V7, flat-III7, flat-VI ma7, flat-II ma7."

[@jimbrown1559]

Barry's lyric for this improvisation on "Embraceable You," which he calls "EmBarryHarrisable You," is lovely. I've heard him perform it a half dozen times on his visits to Chicago, usually with James Austin, one of his students, accompanying him at the piano. Barry told the story of finishing it on a flight back from Japan, probably in '76. I'm very pleased to see this video of it on youtube.

[@Diododeid]

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.

[@ThuyKobe]

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

[@bluegreensho9793]

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

[@spacepodi]

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.

[@a2zpiano]

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!

[@hendrixjoe555]

He's the only Jazz player that actually teach people how to play Jazz.

[@edwardmclaughlin7935]

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.

[@user1739-y5c]

Keep coming back to this video, such wonderful piano playing

[@ChoBee333]

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

[@braeonart]

So beautiful. Rest in Legacy Barry Harris 🙏🏽

He got props from the legend!

The way he tells that story is unbelievable. Beautiful piano playing too. Would love to know who that is. Thank god for Barry Harris...and Bill Evans :)

RIP, Barry Harris. You are already missed.

[@robertgloverjr]

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.

[@luvmyrecords]

I'm still working on THAT one, too.

[@leobird8756]

You will get it if you persist! Funny how everything in music that challenges us initially seems almost exceedingly simple once we understand it 😀

[@claudiajazz]

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.
