In A Mellow Tone
Wednesday December 22nd, 2021 with Ron Steeds
Barry Harris 1929-2021 R.I.P.

Barry Doyle Harris was born December 15, 1929 in Detroit, Michigan. He developed into an outstanding proponent of Bebop Jazz and became an excellent music teacher in addition to the many recordings he was involved in. He passed away earlier this month on December 8, one week short of his 92nd birthday. Tonight we pay tribute to him and sample some of his rich musical legacy.
