i was there!

[Ichiro1968]

Were you at 1st set or the 2nd?

I was at the 2nd set.

[H20Knick]

i think i was at the second.

i sat on the long couch on the "upper lever" on the right.

[Ichiro1968]

What a coincidence! I was just in front of Barry. I shared a table with a Japanese lady.

You mean the same level as the stage and close to the drum? Did you sit next to Lou??

[Ichiro1968]

Thank you!

I need to try Leroy Williams.

Thank you! Do-itashimashite.

Adriaan968:

Thank you!

Barry was such an entertainer so he even sang. Lou Donaldson was present on that evening although he kept shooting with his digital camera.

To me, he's the perfect piano player

I think of him as part of a line that starts with Bud and Monk

and continues forward with Barry

In my opinion he has moved the music forward and travelled further down the path

no disrespect to those greats who have chosen different paths

[H20Knick]

yeah, i was on the stage lever next to the drums.. i sat next to my friend and an older black woman that told me she sings with barry harris. i really dont remember her name...

barry actually came up to her on the way to the stage and said hi. just before he introduced himself (because no one else did...) from behind the poll on the side of the stage. do you remember that?

[Adriaan968]
