Bebop Master Blows Away Jazz Kids

Damn, thank you Daan!

Thanks man these transcriptions are great. You are doing a great service to musicians!

Great vid!!!!!

Wonderful

Oooo yeeaaaa
He was boppin

The absolute man rip

I appreciate this a lot Daan. These transcriptions have helped my Jazz improv so much.

Why are YOU playin'?

Thanks for the transcription. It's very difficult to play like that with a purity of style and uniformity. Barry Harris was a great teacher and a great pianist.A little unknown in the 'general public' but for the musicians he remains a 'Master' in every sense of the word.

This isn't just a bebop master! This is BARRY HARRIS!!! RIP

I had the good fortune of attending a couple of Barry Harris workshops in college and hearing him perform live with Joe Lovano at Birdland when it was on 105th and Broadway. He was a complete master of jazz theory and practice. His playing never seems burdened by overthinking, and yet he could unravel any chord or scale flawlessly and without hesitation. I remember one of those workshops where we composed, arranged, and wrote out a chart at the dinner table with no instruments at hand before the performance. It was just a blues, so not something too difficult, but I think he wanted to show us that we could do it, and it was something a jazz musician should be able to do.

Night in Tunisia?

RIP legend

Why do i feel like i could play that and I ve never touched a piano?

Bebop starts to just sound like random notes

Legend.

My cat also is a master in playing random notes walking on a piano.

JOOO WTF DAAN IK BEN HET FLORIS VAN DA VINCI HAHAHA WTF

It doesn’t sound very good though

Master thanks

Thanks for sharing this great solo!

You cannot learn that in a school!

Every Barry Harris video masterclass I've watched seems to be him demonstrating some crazy advanced technique and then saying, "now you can do it too!"

For me it is a mystery how he can be this melodical.... I know the notes in theory, and the chords, and sort of "how to approach" the song, but it is still a mystery...

lol... Barry Harris!!!!

전혀 스윙하고 있어

I hope u read this I don’t know how to sight read. Wad about tonic solfas. Was never taught that way. Play by ear

As a very young teenager I would go to the Barry Harris jazz cultural theater in Manhattan just behind FIT (fashion Institute of technology) and there I would be the only true Youngblood in the room digging the sounds of whom ever wandered up on to the bandstand.

BARRY THE LEGEND!!!

Shining

Was just playing the Mobley’s Message LP from 1956 and saw that Barry Harris plays piano on it.

>You could tell no one expected that fire solo break
Actually I couldn't because they faces are 1 pixel each lol

Says "you can play this" then proceeds to play something I can't play.

Barry made me understand how evangelicals feel about jesus

Am i the only one thinking this shit is nothing good bad playing

I miss Maestro Barry Harris, God Bless his soul.

He had a massive ego and if you didn't emulate him he would claim that it wasn't jazz.

This same thing happened at my jazz concert. An seasoned jazz musician in our area had to sub in for another missing player. Everyone else was playing simple solos, nothing too impressive, and when it was his turn, he blew those kids away.

very very bud powel influenced solo.

0:8 that was so cool

I just looked at the thumbnail and I was like "This is Barry Harris." I look in the description: This IS Barry Harris xD

I like the bebop style improvisation, all single notes with the chromatic approach, the triplets and everything, it's so damn smooth!

FABULOUS ♦️

If there’s one thing I could do over again it would be to be able to go back and be amazed the amount of mastery someone can possess, pretty much falling in love with jazz all over again and discovering all the things

Sounds a lot like bud Powell
