Barry Harris

Barry Doyle Harris (born Detroit, Michigan, December 15, 1929) is an American jazz pianist, bandleader, composer, arranger and educator. He is known as an exponent of the bebop style.

Early life and career

Harris began learning the piano at the age of 4. His mother was a church pianist and had asked if Harris was interested in playing church or jazz music. Having picked jazz, he was influenced by Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell's music. He went to public areas to play dances for clubs and ballrooms. Harris learned the bebop styles largely by ear, imitating the solos played by Bud Powell in his teenage years.

Later life and career

1950s

Harris was based in Detroit through the 1950s and worked with musicians such as Miles Davis, Sonny Stitt and Thad Jones. He also performed in place of Junior Mance, who was Gene Ammons's regular pianist for his group frequently. In addition, Harris toured with Clifford Brown and Max Roach's Quintet briefly in 1956 as a pianist after the group's resident pianist Richie Powell (younger brother of Bud Powell) died in a car crash.
