| This DVD features two films:
 BARRY HARRIS: PASSING IT ON:
"This short, tightly edited film reveals an aspect of the jazz pianist Barry Harris that most of listeners rarely see or are even aware of...He is a teacher and an advocate, a self-proclaimed 'Inveterate be-bopper' to whom 'be-bop is the beginning and end of music.' But he is open to all music, and we see him playing and teaching jazz piano students, we also see him coaching pop singers and taking lessons himself from a classical piano teacher briefly. This is a billiant cameo of a provocative and charming person."
-John S. Wilson, New York Times
Also features footage of Red Rodney, Pepper Adams, and Clifford Brown. A film by David Chan and Ken Freundlich. 23 min.
