  • As a Barry Harris student of 15 years, one of the things that has always amazed me about his playing is his sense of rhythm, especially in improvisation phrases. In this lesson, taken from a webinar for Jazz Skills members, I share some insights about one rhythmic aspect, where he begins phrases. I will show you what I've noticed, how I practice it and use it in my teaching.

      ​@@christopherventura1821 Isn't it wonderful! The love must have been a cornerstone of Barry's teachings. He was a whale of inspiration, and most of all it seems his love is what continues to ripple outwards. Just the way he would have wanted it

    JazzSkills, did you ever hear Barry Harris talk about the importance of the layers of polyrhythm and how they affect rhythm? I've heard BH talk about it in terms of his ballad playing--feel 6 beats of quarter note triplets against the 4/4 of the measure. I am studying with one of BH's former bandmates and students, and he told me that the 6:4 happens at all tempos--it's just easier to feel on ballads. He also talked about the 3:4, but in terms of feeling three beats against the entire measure--half note triplets. Mike Longo also spoke about the importance of these--and more polyrhythms--as the cosmos of feeling bebop and swing. Have you heard anything about this?

    I noticed that when Charlie Parker recorded several takes of a tune (I forget which one I was looking at) he started the solo on a different (half) beat of the first bar each time.

    Great man , can you help on how to sing jazz lines and try to play them with the piano?
    I wanna leant to sing the Melodie’s and then try to play them by ear 👂
    Do you have something or know about a book that help for begging to intermediate?
    Thanks

    • @JazzSkills

      To be honest, this is something I improved (and continue to) by taking small phrases (even just a couple of notes) and trying again and again to play them back. I would recommend not taking on too much and keeping it very small.

    Dear Shan, ATTENTION, the PDF is non relative to the rhythm. Maybe there is a wrong file associated to this video?

    • @JazzSkills

      I'll look into that. Thank you.
