Code: Tuesday, November 27, 2018 Legendary Bebop Pianist Barry Harris Hospitalized in Moscow Legendary bebop pianist Barry Haris, 88, was hospitalized in Moscow, Russia, Sunday early morning. On Monday, November 26, he was out of ICU, but the excellent doctors at the Nikolay Pirogov First City Hospital in Moscow said he should remain in hospital for a few more days before he can fly back to the U.S. Maestro Harris' Jazz Workshop in Rostov, Russia, scheduled for November 26-30, was canceled. Jazz.Ru Magazine is keeping track of the situation. The latest from the 1st CH's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Alexei Svet, member of the American College of Cardiology, is that their patient is stable but requires treatment before his flight home. As for the thread I gave up on it since i didnt have anyone following along, so it’s free for all now.I think it's a great thread.

For me, this is the Barry Harris practice group. We can all share our progress with practicing anything related to Barry Harris. I keep practicing my Barry every week, but not necessarily the way Chris put it. Though I'm learning a lot from his videos. I'll try to put up some videos this week, hopefully others will put theirs as well, and we can get this group to continue. We don't have to practice the same stuff, but it's useful to see what other folks are doing.

I share the frustration raised by @petimar and @rlhett before, about trying to break out from licks and scale practice. Obviously extending the vocabulary by listening and transcribing, and then practice those patterns, is a big part of the process (which I do *a lot*). But at the core of Barry's workshop there's the part where he build lines with the horns over some changes. For me, this is the highlight of his videos. His methodical thinking like 'you start a phrase on the 2nd of the dominant, put two half steps till reaching the 7, from there play a major7 arpeggio up, now you'r on the 6th, go down the scale to the third of the dominant, then up the diminished arpeggio.etc, etc', this should be our goal, this is how to connect the ABCs (not so much the scale practice, which we end up discussing often when talking about the Barry system, that's important too, but that's not the end goal). Currently I think I'm able to build this way strong lines offline, and practice them as licks, etc.

I'm still not there trying to do it spontaneously, even in slow tempos. That's where I'm at in my journey.

Please explain the advantage of thinking Bb7 scale when playing G7 b9 rather than seeing the G7 b9 scale in its own right. My understanding of this is it gets you used to using hte same dominant language you already use on a major ii-V-I on a minor Even the connections (diminished) are similar. The main difference is the set of destination tones. So your Dm7b5 G7 Cm is closely related to Fm7 Bb7 Eb The difference is whether is mostly context.

Cm on Eb is of course Eb6. If you use an A, you'll imply Cm6.

Particularly when playing over 'Cole Porter' ii-V-Is that resolve to the parallel major: Dm7b5-G7b9-C6.That particular progression - although not the backdoor - belongs to the maj6 dim scale. I remember Barry saying you can always play minor ii-V (unless you are comping for the melody and you have a clash, presumably?) Interestingly, people seem to have a bit of a bee in their bonnet about the opposite - major ii v into minor Dm7 G9 Cm6 But this progression is actually pretty common in jazz lines and tunes. The notes of the chords all belong to the min6-dim C D Eb F G Ab A B D F A C G B D F A C Eb G A. So first thing I do is try to analyse the line in Barry’s style (watch the numbers on the notation): • Barry start the phrase with the important arpeggio found on the 7 th of the dominant. I dare to say that out of Barry’s important arpeggios, this is the most important. Or at least the one I think he plays the most.
