jaxson50 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Gene was such a great guy, and just one hell of a piano player. Sure miss you Gene, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuW26BKVJ3U&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Brother you always post something special and this vid is no exception. I'm guessing most on the forum won't take the time to watch this but that's only because Jimmy Page isn't playing on it. Thanks for always reminding me of the great stuff out there.

Versatile Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Interesting post !! A bit hyper for my taste...but good to view nevertheless We had Ray Brown over in the UK some years ago...with Andre Previn and Mundell Lowe I used to enjoy the Oscar Peterson trio when Ray Brown was part of it...

jaxson50 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Gene retired from the road and moved here to Boise in the late 1970's and did so much to promote music in the schools and jazz in the club scene here, performing regularly at the Idanha Hotel in downtown Boise. He also started the Gene Harris Jazz Festival, http://www.geneharris.org/ He also left us Niki, his daughter; who has been a back up singer for Madonna and appeared on Broadway, which is to bad, she should be as well known as Madonna! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbssV8OLI64 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB3nUP7t0jE&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad4d8 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Made me think of Gene Harris version of Eleanor Rigby, then thought of Swiss Movement. Haven't listened to it in years, maybe decades. Les McCann and the guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hL8GwidZcg Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les McCann and the guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hL8GwidZcg Brad After Eddie Harris (not related to Gene) moved to San Diego he would do one man shows at clubs around town. What a show, not only did he play one hell of a Sax, he was a really great key board player, he would use a loop and, well....you can see him using the loop with his group in 1969. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MLxgcn4XBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
