The Wonderful World of Barry Harris MOVIE (released Dec 15, 2020 on his 91st birthday)

A short movie capturing the amazing synergy of Barry Harris & people. Filmed during the Barry Harris Workshop Rome, March 2019. Harris is 89 at that moment. Made with the ear of a musician, with the eye of a reporter and most of all: straight from the heart. A film by Heleen Schuttevaêr; video editing Hidde Kroonbergs.

As a community music post-graduate, and a Jazz saxophonist, I chose to watch this video from beginning to end because what I know, but have not been taught, is that Jazz is the REAL unifier of people from all walks of life or backgrounds. Barry Harris was a great Bebop Jazz pianist par excellence in his hey days and later but he just chose to get into informally teaching Jazz bebop music in the end. He has done so well in many countries where he was invited to do workshops. I don't know any great jazz musician who has ever done this, only Barry Harris who lived for over 90 years when most of his peers had passed away many years ago. What I learned from this is that it seems every great musician should have done this...to give back or plough back the knowledge to the people. I don't want to talk too much. Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelalazar2680]

I went to his thursday classes at the jazz form on broadway in west village nyc. We omly paid five dollars to get in but i was fasinated by the simplicity of his teaching and helping young musicians and vocalists God left him on purpose to Last all of these years R.I.P last all of the years

[@arthurrosch5378]

Barry is way more famous now than he was twenty years ago. Every jazz musician in the world knows him and he wasn't THAT famous in his hey -day as a pianist. It's a triumph for him. RIP Barry Harris, beloved mentor.

He was one of my sister’s instructors and friend. Delightful man.

[@missyhilary8905]

I love Dr. Barry Harris‘s way of teaching jazz. He breaks it down so it makes sense, logically.

[@jman12849]

91 years old and still continuing the legacy of Bud Powell among others! God bless Harris and his teachings, would have never appreciated Bud and real jazz had I not found this beautiful man!

Barry, you make me cry! You make music become MUSIC!! "The more I hear you, The more I love you"

[@pinkneyherbert3965]

Barry Harris is a gem and an inspiring teacher and Muscian. I like how Barry brings people from around the world to learn, play and sing together. Thanks to the filmmakers for my introduction to Barry Harris. I am going to enjoy listening to more of his music.

[@pebblebeach8517]

Barry the legend 🎹 🎼 .....few people if any understood music theory like BH.

[@martian-sunset]

Barry is a musical treasure! We studied with the same teacher and I remember watching him go from a Chopin Etude into a Bud Powell tune. An exceptionally gifted person.

[@russellszabadosaka5-pindin849]

The best jazz pianists can play classical. Jarrett, Corea, Hancock, Harris

Thanks for this video.Barrys impact will continue to influence jazz for many years to come

[@ltravail]

Bless you for making this film. I couldn't agree more that Barry Harris is a jazz giant whose contributions to the art form as a musician, educator, and tireless ambassador are as worthy of documentation for cultural posterity as are those of maybe more celebrated giants of the genre. May his name be remembered even long after those of us alive today who remember him have passed on from this mortal coil. The lives of succeeding generations will be indeed as enriched by knowing of this marvelous teacher, musician, and living jazz encyclopedia as we are today. Thank you again for your wonderful work.

[@richardxu8865]

A really beautiful film! I enjoyed learning about the community surrounding Barry Harris. What a beautiful human being

[@StamatisSeraphim]

What a beautiful film. My dad used to study with Barry back in the 80s, he was one of his first students at the School of the Street. 40 years later, I have the privilege to learn from Barry through his Zoom workshops every Saturday. Truly a genius, and the world is a better place for having him in it. It's also so good to see Andrea, Leanne and David and co outside of the Zoom box! What a beautiful family. That's what it is about - passing on the music and building meaningful relationships. Barry was so moved to see my dad come to the workshop all the way from Greece, 40 years later. Thank you for this!

[@russellszabadosaka5-pindin849]

@Stamatis Seraphim awesome story. Thanks for sharing! I wish I could’ve studied under Barry.

[@caroleweilfranck8902]

[@stephenhawes5391]

I have just only learnt about Barry because of his passing - and Y.T. deciding to send me links about him. I like very much like how in an other video he tells a young man 'that's not how WE play that chord. He seemed like a tough teacher but a caring one. Thank you Barry and rest in peace.

Hoi Heleen, op zoek naar wat info en goede lessen van Barry Harris kom ik zomaar een film tegen van mijn oude buurvrouw!! Well done!!!!

[@CharlesJGreenberg]

OMG the youtube algorythm understands me. How else did I end up getting this recommended? The audience with Barry Harris. In a Rome underground cathedral....

[@NickHchaos]

Ahmad Jamal would take a class FROM Barry? That seems quite surprising to me considering they’re the same age and Ahmad is way beyond Barry as a musician.

[@chriskoulouridis6090]

So much you know so much you talk!

[@leechild4655]

I like how he tells everyone the stop all this nonsense and get out of here stuff. He knows music is just really making sounds and we`re off to fantasy land. at some point, you got to wake up and just go home or somewhere else. lol

[@spensert4933]

10:35 bellisima

[@agnidas5816]

Great man. I do hope he learns what an arpeggio is one day :) hehe... I find it common among jazz musicians to use this word incorrectly all the time. It is not a preset scale. An arpeggio means the notes are played separate one after another. The order is inconsequential. In fact improvising arpeggio patterns is at the root of improvisation and it is also what many 'licks' are. Also for example if you play the notes c, e, and g together you get a C major chord but if you play c, then e, then g one after another that is a C major arpeggio. if you play e then g then c that is also a C major arpeggio. if you play C then G then A then B then D then E then C - that is also a C major arpeggio. Do you see? Barry teaches to improvise and teaches the basics... but he could do it better if he understood and taught the correct form of the arpeggio. He wants to teach his students how to arpeggiate freely but is mis using the word arpeggio. Mm

[@LotusTrane]

You misunderstood. The notes they were singing while saying arpeggio, were in fact an arpeggio @ 10:04. It was only after that they sang a scale.

[@Passeira1]

slap.

[@NickHchaos]

Wow that loud gruff Italian dubbing/interpreting is kind of horrible.
