As in all of his creative pursuits, Barry’s quest to develop, expand and share this part of his work is tireless. Almost ten years after the completion of our original “Workshop Video”, it made sense to document a new wealth of information and nuance in a second volume.Shot in a “clinic setting”, this beautifully filmed session is approximately 4 hours, 15 minutes in length and features great overhead views of Barry at the piano.
The accompanying 156 page workbook includes a transcription of all the musical examples.The Barry Harris Workshop Video Part 2 highlights the following three chapters: “Improvisation”Intended for instrumentalists and vocalists, this 1st session presents Barry’s latest thoughts on chord and scale relationships; feeling the rhythm of a line; scale practice including expanded “Extra Note Rules”; how to apply “extra notes” to any scale or grouping of notes; the use of surrounding notes; developing “turnbacks”; in-depth line building work on “rhythm changes” – and more. “The Rhythm Section”This session is vital for all rhythm section players and stresses the importance of using “upbeats” as they apply to each instrument; “feeling 6″ while playing in 4/4; the usefulness of playing small chords voicings; Barry’s voicings for the Blues, “rhythm changes” and more. “Harmony”Long awaited, this session gets right to the heart of Barry’s unique harmonic system.
Detailing “sixth diminished” chord theory, chord movement and putting together effective voicings, this section is highlighted by Barry’s performance of “I Should Care”, (complete with harmonic analysis), featuring great overhead camera shots.Piano and guitar transcriptions are included. “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?
Testimonials 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.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. This video was the grail I had been looking for!!! If you even have the thought that this method sounds interesting, don’t hesitate, “Buy It “.Hi Howard,“I got all the materials in the mail several days ago. They are excellent. I have been studying these methods for some time using the information from your articles and whatever else I could find on the web.
These videos really fill in the gaps of my knowledge.”“I guess you could say Barry Harris is one of the very last of the bebop purists that we have on piano.

I am still on the first page of the workouts but i already have a very different perception and skill that is popping out. I too was asking around before i bought this and got very little response, but i had heard barry play, and know how dedicated he is to teaching improv, so i decided to take the plunge. This is one of the best investments i have ever made!!!! Any other questions feel free to askpaul.
Recently i've been playing around with some scale-chord ideas that seem to be related to the barry harris approach. I'm also aware of similar systems using 'bebop scales' - dave baker seems to be the big name here.
Based on the sketchy information i've been able to find online and tucked away in various instruction books, i think i know what all this is about, but i wonder if paul, max or one of the other gurus (gary, jeff, scot etc) would kindly provide an idiot's guide to the harris/bebop system. I have a feeling i've probably rediscovered things that are very well established for advanced players, but before i go public with the results of my wanderings in this area, it would be useful to have the basics of harris and baker sketched out.thanks, and to swing for starting this interesting thread.sid. Hello group,sorry i couldn't get back to this thread sooner. Like i said earlier i have only had this tape a short time so i am no means an expert barrys approach as opposed to anyone elses, but i do have a couple of views that i could share. First off i think max summed up the contents of the tape pretty well.
All of my early training was classical, but in my teen years i became really interested in jazz. I read every book i could find on it( levine, baker, coker etc ) and even took some private lessons, and 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 ' as max points out above, in the first section barry is dealing with scale exercises, chromaticism rules, etc, now over the years i have seen and tried all kinds of scale exercises, i feel strong technique is a prerequisite for jazz improv, barrys approach is that for the purposes of practicing, technique must always have a musical context, ' practice your playing-not your practicing '. Part 2barry states in his opening remarks in the video, everything comes from scales, which requires that they be practiced in a variety of ways and being able to actually see him in the video show these students different ways to practice playing a scale musically was a powerfull trigger for me, for the first time i saw exactly' what' to do, and also 'why' it left me with no questions!!!!

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, and this tape was the grail i had been looking for!!! If you even have the thought that this tape sounds interesting, don't hesitate ' buy it ' i have spent 80 dollars going out to dinner, i would spend 5 times more for this tape now that i have seen it, no questions asked. One last thing, in the above post 7p mentions the book 'thinking in jazz' by paul f berliner, this should be the bible sitting on every improvisers music stand, there is nothing else like it!!!best regardspaul. Barry harris definately has an interesting perspective at looking at things.
I have the videos at home, but here i have the workbook with it.i think maybe the 2nd video is released now? Like part two.anyhow i think people have already went thru content of vid.howard rees site, www.jazzworkshops.com? I can't remember is the home of the vid, and provides lots of information and some information regarding the basis to barry harris' approach. The link for that site will be in ljp's links i posted somewhere.if anyone is interested in checking out the vid, shoot me a pm and maybe i can lend it to you when i get home? Hi alli'm intrigued at reading your posts about the barry harris workshop video have also been on the www.jazzworkshops.com site and found it really interesting.
Though i am working on other things at the moment (i.e mark levine's jazz piano book ( chapter on block chords)in some ways related to barry harris' concept )i would like to purchase this video just to see how things work out on the piano. Seeing the principles being put into action.
Only problem is, i live in england (london) and i've made enquiries with a number of the top music shops here in london and though they all have several tutorial videos i was unable to find one that had information about this barry harris video so they won't even try to order it. Any of you guys out there from my neck of the woods know how i can get hold of this vid without having to order from oversees? (if that's the only option then it'll have to be) i think london is supposed to be some sort of music capital but at times it's really hard getting some of the better stuff out there.ps thanks everyone for all the good posting on this subjectmarvin.

Price: £12.99. Hi barrysorry about the above post (probably didn't mean much)anyway.
Jazzwise got back to me. Check out their email answer below:good afternoon,thank you for your e-mail, the video you refer to is actuallypublished by bop city productions and is sold by jameyaebersold, however it is an american publication and thereforenot compatible with english video players, i also believe thatthe accompanying book can not be sold in this country becauseof copyright.
Barry Harris Workshop Dvd Part 1
Sorry we are unable to assist on this occasion.so i guess i'll have to look outside of the uk for this videoand if it's true about the english video players not being able to play this video then i would even be prepared to invest in one that could play it, cos by the way everyone has been raving about this video it really seems worth it. I would definately pay £75 for that (seems to be a lifetime investment)i'll look at the howard rees site and do some more searches and post any good offers i findmarvin.
