Rest In Peace incredible teacher and musician Barry Harris

[@MrDevinDove]

Barry Harris is the definition of jazz royalty !

[@tonartification]

Brian, it's so important to interview all those older cats before they leave! They tell us some of their experiences, mostly heartfelt, from their TODAYS perspective. That's the benefit we got out of your interviews. Keep on, keeping on! Is there a chance to talk to Clark Terry?

[@ElliFordyce]

I spent 2 years in my late 50s religiously attending Barry's vocal w/s in NY and credit him as my all-time jazz guru.

[@drjawn]

he is one of the best/greats!

[@imchrisirvin]

This is the best interview I've ever seen. You can just feel the passion that he has for the music! It'll be a sad day in my household when he leaves here. Until then, S/O to the man Brian Pace for bringing true music lovers an interview with such a beloved figure in music!! #RESPECT

Here's a very special edition of The Pace Report reporting from this year's 2014 Detroit Jazz Festival featuring Detroit's own, Dr. Barry Harris. This NEA Jazz Master/Educator/Pianist was on the frontlines of the jazz scene and continues to be one of the most revered and respected musicians in the world. Dr. Harris and I sat down to talk about his deep Detroit roots, the rich musical legacy of pianists Art Tatum and Bud Powell, as well as reflect on his dear friend, the legendary Thelonious Monk. Enjoy this candid interview with Dr. Harris.

[@metaviewx2091]

This is great, brother! Thank you!

[@dfinedigital]

brilliant musician amazing....

[@christiangarcia9245]

Why isn’t the bass player on the left hand side of the piano? lol

[@eduardopuccini]

Probably the piano was already set up in the corner and they could do nothing about it.

[@tracythejazzlifer4529]

Bass player is at the bell curve of the piano, in order hear the piano strings at the loudest possible position. It's traditional to do so.

[@PabloCardonaMusic]

@@tracythejazzlifer4529 Barry Harris disagrees with that, during a talk in Spain he said that the bass should be on the left side of the piano to see the left hand of the pianist

[@tracythejazzlifer4529]

@@PabloCardonaMusic while I can understand you misunderstanding Mr. Harris's point, as english is not your native tongue, possiblity only english as a second language and you not being a jazz guitarist of professional level. But, if you just watch this jazz concert , you can plainly see that the bassist can not see the pianist hands because is slightly turned forward and the pianist hands are not in full view. However, that is the case only when the bass player doesn't read sheet music. I have hung out with the legendary Dominique Di-Piazza a musical genius, born a child prodigy. He has played with Jonh Mclaughlin and others. Now, dig this. He doesn't read sheet music or chord charts. But what he does very well is just look at the piano player's hands and follows with perfect pitch. However if a bass player has a complete faculty of sight reading and music theory. There I no logical reason to look at the piano player's hands. P.S. logically, if the grand piano is 270cm long . A bass player at the bell curve isn't going to be able to see your hands, only they will see your face.

[@jimbrown1559]

@@tracythejazzlifer4529 As a jazz recording engineers, I can confirm your observation. On the other side of the piano, the lid makes it harder to hear the piano.

[@Chysp010-sd7nt]

Piano class in elementary school? Never heard of anything like that. Is the idea to have all the kids play football instead, and get concussions rather than creating a legacy like Dr. Harris? I don't mean to sound negative, but this is a great opportunity to question our culture's priorities.

[@stealthmermaid40]

Who was snapping 300 photos with that annoying ass beep?

[@percyvolnar8010]

Thanks for destroying my left speaker

[@foxybrown2]

Thelonius was the man.

[@jerryk3280]

And still is!

[@thinktwice4565]

He is more A Parker than Monk.

[@franciscopetracco5553]

he met Monk frequently at baroness Nica's house for like 10 years. he may be more a Parker but he still probably knows more about Monk than any of us.

[@fryingwiththeantidote2486]

Is it me or is the bass player fucking huge???
