barry harris NYC jazz workshop--

Last night, I finally gathered enough courage to go to Barry Harris Jazz workshop in the city.  When I entered and told the registrar that I wanted to register for the remainder of the year, he said, ‘hope you know what you’re getting into!’  I guess he didn’t realize that I’ve been playing music since I could remember.  But, nevertheless, learning jazz for me is a completely different beast.

The night ended up being very enjoyable…much of the workshop was more of an ear training session where he’d sing a line and expected us to play the same line w/ our instruments.  Surprisingly, I found myself keeping up pretty well w/ everyone.  I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there.  Definitely a good choice!
