yeah you rite jazzand. ...i remember many a night at the JCT those years, went to school nearby from 82-86, one of my professors Leonard Goines turned me on to the place..this brings back a ton of memories...jaki byard, tommy flanagan...james p floating through the air, the cookies and tea they used to serve...the posters on the wall and of course what an amazing experience it was to get to know Barry a bit...I wish I had kept up with him.
Barry Harris 82nd Birthday! Many thanks for everything he taught us all! I spent a lot of time at the Jazz Cultural Theatre from 1982-87 and this video brings back memories. Sitting a couple feet from Tommy Flanagan while he played a beautiful Strayhorn medley, Tommy and Barry playing amazing piano duets, Barry recording his album "For The Moment" there, or the night Art Blakey donated a set of drums to the Breakfast Jam. I'm so grateful for the times I got to sit in with so many jazz greats!
