I CAME UP PLAYING FOR DANCERS AND FOUND IT INSPIRING! ALSO PLAYED FOR STRIPPERS TWIRLING THOSE TASSELS TO REALLY UP TEMPOS LIKE BARRY SAYS. SIX NIGHTS EVERY WEEK, FIVE SETS EVERY NIGHT. I AM FROM THE LAST GENERATION WHO CAME UP THAT WAY IN MINNEAPOLIS . THEN TELEVISION REPLACED LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. I AM 76 NOW AND HAVE HAD THE GREAT PRIVILEGE OF SPENDING TIME SITTING NEXT TO HIM ON A PIANO BENCH HANGING ON TO ALL THE KNOWLEDGE HE SHARED SO GENEROUSLY.
The dance may never return in this fashion. Barry has a great point. It took only a number of decades to separate the cultural practices of song and dance and replace it with consumption-based facilities referred to as jazz clubs. Jazz should take it's cultural practices back to it's roots.
Does anyone have any idea of which Italian band (or young Italian boys) is Barry Harris referring to? @15:10 This interview was recorded on November 14th, 2004; so when he says "Remember a date: January 25th" he is referring to January 25th, 2005. Those "young Italian boys" played at the Village Vanguard on that date.
The thing about these old timers are, they aren't themselves so special or geniuses or whatever, they are just the product of ALL the years of advice and things they've learned from ALL THE OTHER players that they've worked with over the years. These people are accumulations of a century of knowledge
Jazz mooving to other places ? Think of Copenhagen. In Monmartre for instend played the best american musicians like Bud Powel, Dexter Gordon and a lot of others......

i'm sure it's Pasquale Grasso and his brother Luigi
Charles Mcpherson talked a lot over Barry Harris. He named him as the best teacher he ever had.

So is each one of us....
What an inspiration!
