“I guess you could say Barry Harris is one of the very last of the bebop purists that we have on piano. He is a living and brilliant extension of Bud Powell.” Walter Bishop Jr. “I’ve always thought that if Charlie Parker had played piano, he would sound exactly like Barry Harris.

Or is it the other way around? Musician Testimonials “Barry’s Workshop Video is a valuable educational tool for anyone interested in the inner workings of modern jazz.” Kenny Burrell “A fine workshop for striving pianists and serious students who want to play modern harmonies in the style of Charlie Parker.” Tommy Flanagan “This package offers information that hasn’t been given before. It is a very practical and organized way of looking at chord movement applied to the areas of accompaniment, arranging and composition. Customer Testimonials “I just received mine about a week ago, and I am thrilled with it. I am fifty years old and a pro pianist, and (Barry) talks about and demonstrates an approach that for me is already changing my playing. I watched all the dvds through several times (which really helps to see his over-all approach) before I began using the dvds with the workbook. I am still on the first page of the workouts but I already have a very different perception and skill that is popping out.

This is one of the best investments I have ever made!!!!” “If you are interested in bop purchase it. Spellforce 2 gold edition free download. Barry Harris is a great pianist and a great educator.” “I’ve read every book I could find on bop (Levine, Baker, Coker etc) and even took some private lessons. I managed to pick up some understanding and some skill for improv, but I was left with more questions than answers and after some years of playing I felt like I was in a rut. Now this is where Barry walks in, takes me by the hand and says “Here is what you do”. “The power of this video is Barry the teacher, he was there when bop was born, and it is evident when you watch him teaching and playing that he knows exactly what this is all about, and he knows exactly how to pass what he knows on to you. Working with this less than two weeks, the exciting part has been watching how much is already creeping into my playing. I am climbing out of old perspectives and into new ones.
