Barry Harris is part of an exceptional crew of Detroit-bred jazz musicians, including Tommy Flanagan and Donald Byrd, who rose through the extraordinary arts education program in the public school system during the 1930s and 1940s. During the 1940s, and Harris was house pianist at two of the hottest Detroit spots, the Blue Bird Lounge and The Rouge, where he backed such traveling soloists as Miles Davis, Wardell Gray, Max Roach, Sonny Stitt, Lee Konitz and Lester Young. Displaying an early interest in passing the torch through education, Harris began teaching his bebop theories in 1956, tutoring young talent such as Joe Henderson. It is a tradition he has carried on throughout his life. Harris’ acumen as a teacher and mentor to developing pianists has become legendary.
Peter Washington, perhaps the most recorded bassist of his generation, has also played an integral part in two of the most important and highly praised jazz trios of the last 20 years, in addition to a “who’s who” roster of jazz artists. Born in Los Angeles, California in 1964, Washington attended the University of California, Berkeley. In the early 1990’s Washington joined the Tommy Flanagan Trio, called by many “the greatest trio in jazz”, and remained until Flanagan’s death, in 2002.
Lewis Nash, namesake of The Nash, was the “first call” jazz drummer in his native Phoenix at the age of 21. Nash moved to New York City and joined the trio of great jazz vocalist Betty Carter. Lewis was a member of the Tommy Flanagan Trio, and is featured on seven CD recordings with the late piano master. He also toured and recorded with both the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. In 2007, the Mayor presented Nash with the Key to the City of Phoenix, and the Governor proclaimed Lewis Nash Day in honor of his achievements as a musician and world ambassador for the American art form of jazz. In 2009, Modern Drummer Magazine proclaimed Nash as the most valuable player in jazz.
