A magnificent celebration of timeless jazz, extraordinary musicianship and the unmistakable elegance of one of the greatest masters of bebop piano.

Barry Harris occupies a legendary place in the history of jazz. A remarkable pianist, composer and educator, he devoted his life to preserving and developing the rich harmonic language and improvisational traditions of bebop. Renowned for his sophisticated touch, exceptional rhythmic precision and profound melodic imagination, Harris performed and recorded alongside some of jazz's most celebrated musicians, including Dexter Gordon, Lee Morgan, Yusef Lateef and Sonny Stitt. His distinctive musical personality, deeply influenced by the great masters of the bebop era, made him one of the most respected and influential jazz pianists of his generation.

Recorded in New York on June 2, 2000, The Last Time I Saw Paris brings together Barry Harris on piano, George Mraz on double bass and Leroy Williams on drums in an outstanding acoustic jazz trio. These three exceptional musicians share an extraordinary musical understanding, combining effortless swing, refined improvisation and remarkable sensitivity. Their performances reveal the natural elegance of classic piano jazz, where every melodic phrase, harmonic progression and rhythmic interaction contributes to a wonderfully intimate musical atmosphere.

Throughout this captivating recording, the trio revisits a beautiful selection of timeless jazz standards, including "Tea for Two", "'Round Midnight" and "Bags' Groove". Barry Harris demonstrates his extraordinary command of the keyboard, alternating delicate lyrical passages with dazzling bebop improvisations, while George Mraz provides a rich, expressive bass foundation and Leroy Williams brings subtle rhythmic energy and impeccable swing. The result is a superbly balanced musical conversation, filled with warmth, spontaneity and artistic sophistication.
