- This clip was filmed during my last visit at the Barry Harris workshop in New York City in February 2020, only a few weeks before the covid 19 pandemic hit.
During my many visits at the Barry Harris Workshop in over 20 years, Barry sometimes would invite me to play for the class. I always felt scared to death to play at Barry's request but I never refused. This was one of those episodes. A great memory that I now treasure in my heart.
Many thanks to Mr. Michael Haynes for filming.
Amazing Rossano!!
Ah the legendary video that made me discover my favorite piano player!
I play this over and over again.....just amazing❤👏
Love it!
That was a Mike Drop performance for sure! I think Professor Harris was duly impressed, as was everyone else there ! Amazing 🎶🎹❤️
the 0:55 time change into the VIm sub into the descending fifths OPENING the left hand into the C minor WITH ONLY TWO VOICES IN THE LEFT HAND is one of the best moments of this recording, and probably in any recording of this tune ever!
But ?
Yes sir! The art of Tatum…and Waller - alive and kicking 😺 Fantastic! Best wishes from Stockholm Sweden!
I've never seen anyone play so effortlessly. Fab. Thanks for sharing.
maybe Tatum and Argerich
stunning performance
What beautiful playing and incredible technique! I know Dr. Harris loved watching you. It makes me feel a little better to know you get nervous! I just received my copy of your album "That's It!" I am on my third listen and I hear different layers and nuances in your playing each time.
Burning! One of my favourite tunes. I love the record you did with the Grasso bros! Much love from Toronto.
One of my favourite stride clips on the web. I like the way Barry had complete confidence in your abilities, such that, he could call out 'stride' and know you were going to be able to make the shift at the drop of a hat. I dare not ask about the ungodly number of hours and years you've spent honing those skills. 🙂
I love your playing and barry seems very impressed too!
Very inspiring!
Brilliant Rosanno!
Ted Fio Rito And His Orchestra* - Just One Of Those Things.........❤ sei un benefattore....grazie.
Burnin’ 🔥
my favorite part was when barry said stride and then he strode
burnin stuff!
He *does* say "Stride!" before you do it haha
This is so good
This may be the most jaw dropping bit of music ive been exposed to
He is a phenom
This is easily one of my favorite jazz piano videos on the internet, I just really wish that guy would stop nagging about the tenths, I'd love to clean the audience noise out of this! I've heard this tune before and I can't possibly remember where, I just know that the ending of the main verse hits me with deja vu!
1:54 though, that spectacular finale to the stride section still takes my breath away!
“Just One of Those Things”
@@kareemofthecrop Yeah I know the n name, really strange that I can't remember where though!
Probably heard Johnny Costa’s version or Art Tatum (who is the clearly an influence of the pianist featured here).
@@truthmanifestingtruth Yeah or the melody is just one of those that has been used other places.
Haha…Barry H is like: dat was good but you should’ve use a Bb when you did the 2nd chord…still great though…love Barry!
I’m just being introduced to this pianist! I’m going to listen to more of his work!
Rossano. Vieni da Marte. Abbraccio.
Were you reacting to whay Barry was telling you to do when he said "hit it!" And "Stride!" Or were you both in sync with how the music was progressing?
I think I was trying to do what he said.
What would you call the style played at 1:16? I absolutely love the mixture of the LH's grooviness with the RH's voicings!
Thanks a lot for the kind words. I'd say it's my own style derived from the Harlem Stride Piano tradition with the addition of some bebop elements in the right hand.
I have been dying to learn about the nuances of this technique for years. Would pay to hear this technique broken down! So much depth in that sound
What song is this?
@@E_sosaO it's an improvisation based on "Just One of Those Things" by Cole Porter.
