The best thing you could do to the bebop jazz community. What a tribute to Barry RIP 🪦

[@AlecKatz]

Thank you!

[@bruceedmiston2601]

Watching this reminded me of the time I spent with David Baker at Indiana University during a Jamey Abersold summer workshop. David would sit at the piano and work us for 90 minutes nonstop. It was hard work keeping up but what an impact he had on all of us. Dr. Barry Harris is just as inspirational and intense, what a talent!

[@anyabongo1331]

Thank you for uploading this treasure. One thing I've learned with music is, listening is key to making good music. I hope this was conveyed to the participants in the workshop...but then again, I could be mistaken as to the level of musicianship they possess.
