thks! very good francesco..just a question, wouldn't be more accurate use flats instead of sharps in some places?
@@marceloilari9539 Hi, you're welcome! Yes, sorry, i made some notation mistakes in this transcription, i'm trying to get better. I'm a guitarist and i'm used to transcribe lines of one or two notes, transcribing piano is way harder.
@@FrancescoLai_ no, it s almost perfet! only that details , are right in enharmony but could be more easy to understand with the logic harmony functions
I like how he just casually plays that as if he didn't just conjure up one of the most beautiful sounds to come out of a piano.
Heck your right, 5 seconds in I was entranced
You should listen to some Thelonious Monk.
A true original.
This was his piece.
@@marckg6950 5 seconds in is Monk's "Light Blue", so no he didn't conjure it lol
I LOVE ALEXANDER SCRIABIN TOOOOOOOOO❤❤❤❤
Idk sounds off tune
The amount of nuance and subtly that Barry plays with here is incredible. The slight variations in phrase, the masterful uses of articulation and dynamics, the ebb and flow of the lines make this performance remarkable.
Over.
Nice! This jazz style reminds a bit of Scriabin's music, partly his perlude op 37#3, and fast runs remind of his mazurkas (especially the one in C major)
I thought exactly this. And perhaps some of his slightly later stuff too (harmony wise)
I almost hear Schoenberg, especially at the beginning
Same thoughts.
@@commentingchannel9776What!?
You need to ask yourself why this doesn't remind you of Thelonius Monk.
Monk's "Light Blue".
I was trying to figure out if it was “Panonnica” or not. Thank you.
What a Master Barry has become. God keep him safe.
I hate to break it to you friend…
@@tyleralden1854 I miss him...💔
@@modokashii me too! He was teaching Jazz right up to his last breathe. I was lucky to ‘attend’ a couple of his digital classes right before he passed away. Fortunately, RUclipsrs are keeping his knowledge alive with great transcriptions like this.
God failed him as he's failed us all. This guy's dead. Prolly eating up by maggots now. Sorry bud
I love how he says "A song that went like this,..." and I kept waiting for the end of the story, but the song was the story
...at least in this edit :)
That passing dissonance at 1:05 just digs you in to what's going on in case you weren't already there!
Can you explain more? I don't get it conceptually
@@yuyurolfer Hard to explain! To me it's just lusciously ambiguous, and tries to tease you into a resolution up a fourth in order to make any sense of it at all, but then it does something else which also make sense -- unexpectedly!
@@worldnotworld Thank you! It does sound hard to explain :)
Its hella reminiscent of the human condition. Ambition, struggle, accomplishment, more struggle, an end?, more struggle. And at the end, the acceptance of futility, and the passing of a life, so fragile dude.
@@Mrfallouthero I'll take it!
i dream of calm orange violet sunset listening to this, thanks.
That is so beautiful, even sweeter than Monk himself. Barry was an angel. Maad goosebumps!
hes voice is just as magical
This whole concert has a death grip on me! I go back and listen to it at least once a week! Thank you so much!❤❤❤
where can I find the whole concert?

One of my (many) favorite Monk tunes. Nice to have the transcription. 💎
Oh my word, that was brilliant! Your playing is great, but your singing is a level above. You really capture the character of Chet’s voice. Well done!
I completely agree that it is, indeed, magick. human beings are capable of such deep beauty. "so, why all the terror?" my mind wonders next.
Beautiful! Respect!
He’ll never go anywhere
Except heaven
This is on of the funniest comments I red in last few months.
Lovely and touching.
Barry put a lot of nice personal touches into it.
Nice job! Barry for life
m6 bass clef beat 1: There's a C in the middle.
m6 both clefs beats 3-4: It's FEbGAB (F9#11) for the first voicing and F#EG#A# (F#9) for the second voicing.
m22 both clefs beat 3-4: FEbGAB (F9#11) then EG#A#C (F#9#11).
m23 treble clef beat 2: this arpeggio goes GCDGACDE (going from G below middle C to an E an octave and a third above middle C). Performed rubato, you could notate it as a single block chord but put an arpeggio sign next to it.
Thank you!
Damn how do you hear all that
@@purplefishy8164 probably is learning it
@@adnjazzNah, I’ve just got good ears plus I already know the tune.
there's about a million things wrong with the transcription...the fifth in bar six is there throughout, of course, why would he just randomly add it in at that point? and it's present in both of those chords. There's clearly a ninth in bar three (and eight, you can even clearly see him paying it), sustained from the previous harmony. Prior to bar eight the fifth is not at the top of those chords, it's the third, there are only three notes. The fifth at the bottom of the C# chord in bar 17? I could go on... And don't even get me started on the notation! bar 18 isn't even playable!
WOW! Bravo to Barry & MONK!!!!!
Wow nice ad lib. Beauty just comes out of the piano.
What a nice, rich tone...
Nothing is better.
Nice to show the transcription, so we can play it also, thanks.
agreed! it's very nice
Light blue, hermoso!!!
Gorgeous
Sublime
instantly recognizable thelonious. good stuff
Monk was genius.
Perfection!
Magical❤️
Monk is still ahead of his time
Monk ❤
this is really cool...
Does anyone else notice that this Steinway sounds fucking identical to the Steinway D on Kind of Blue? A really harsh (if pushed), mid range honky, almost upright sounding, slightly out of tune yet organic sound I've only ever heard on that specific piano on the different records it was used on. It's the perfect jazz piano sound.
✨👋🥴👍✨
I did notice that, but would never have been able to put it into words like you've managed to do.
Isn't that the piano and micing, not the player?
@@Da_Xman That's true, it's all in the piano and micing (90% the piano itself). It has a bit to do with the voicing, but I think mostly just the soundboard and the way the piano is built. Some pianos are just honky, and while this (even though it's a concert Steinway D with hundreds of thousands of dollars) wouldn't work for modern classical music at all, it's the perfect jazz grand. Old, smokey sound!
Beautiful!
Beautiful ❤❤
Very Nice!
Dr.BarryHarris❤
❤ nice playing, nice sound😊
Grazie amico !
Holy ties and enharmonics
Superb! APPLAUDS!!!
How is this not on Spotify
Súper Arpeggio
Thanks.
Wow
Getting some Stevie "I can help it" vibes.
sounds like scriabin!
Thats light blue by monk!
In bar 6 beat 3, i can hear G then Ab as well as the A to Bb. What do you think? Your voicing, respectfully, sounds a bit less crunchy when I play it
Love the transcription! Very beautiful piece
And i dont think the top note is there on the minor 7 voicings in bar 7 beat 3. They are 3 note voicings
Mich love
Hi, thank you for your comment! You're right, in the bar 6 at beat 3 there is a G that goes to Ab. In bar 7 i wrote the two highest notes cause i can hear them but those could be harmonics of the piano. If you search down in the comments, you can find a couple of other corrections. I was excited to get this transcription out, should have checked some details better tho.
💚
omg it's bennygreen!
Stylistically reminds me of Kenny Barron too, Kenny must've been influenced by Monk
Or maybe Barry himself
This sounds like a piano to me
this is a good transcription but you should really use flats for A LOT of these chords
delicious
So totally monkish
é quase um chorinho
Is it possible to purchase just this one? I could not find anything , but subscription ...(
try now, i added the transcription to the shop.
@@FrancescoLai_ Thank you Francesco. We miss Barry soooo much!
Heheheh, nice
Barry Harris?
can you transcribe Mercedes By Roberto Fonseca please?
Thank you for the suggestion! I didn't know the piece till now, so beautiful! I'll transcribe it a soon as possibile
Many thanks !! I wish you good luck !!
his hands are so big wth at around 0:45 bro casually plays from a C2 to a G3 thats like way over an octave
He plays the D and G with his right hand
Originaly where its coming from?
Bro burned the food
What's going on with your spelling of the A sharp/D dyad in the left hand? Is there any rationale for not working a B flat?
Sounds like purloined Debussy to me
Sounds like guitarr
i was expecting tritone and whole tone things
There is a Debussy work just like this,,,,,,,Clair de Lune?
Not exactly
Sounds like random notes to me. Kisses noooooobas!!!
I call bs. Never have I seen a piano in a monestry. WAY to much luxury. I mean listen to the luxury of this sound...
Thelonious Monk
@@user-ks8wn1gn2m Hahaha, lol. I was actually completely unaware of that. Incredible XD
Nada demais
🪄
Sounds like someone trying to play a real song, while their cat walks on the piano and messes half of it up.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Oh that's nice. So unexpected. It made me chuckle.

Whos this man?
Barry Harris
Well known and legendary jazz teacher and player, passed away last year
Lol, like Harry Potter asking about Snape in the movie.
Too much dissonance for my ears
Horrible.
Away demon
