BARRY HARRIS VOCAL WORKSHOP
Barry Harris with Howard Rees
This 84 minute instructional tool is packed with practical tips for vocalists at all levels. The 'clinic' setting allows you to join into the lesson. Key aspects of jazz singing including rhythm, scales and the ability to hear chord changes are covered in depth.
Led by jazz legend, Dr. Barry Harris, the video documents a small vocal class being instructed in rhythm, phrasing, vocal warm-ups, leading a rhythm section and outlining key harmonic progressions.
The accompanying 50 page workbook provides a transcription of the exercises and songs presented in the video along with additional explanations.
Recommended for all levels, the Barry Harris Vocal Workshop will stretch even the most experienced vocalist, not by teaching you neat tricks but by deepening your understanding of and appreciation for the jazz tradition.

What Are NTSC and PAL?What are NTSC and PAL?
- NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a standard used in North America and Japan. It has the ability to display up to 525 lines of resolution on your television.
- PAL (Phase Alternating Line), a standard used almost everywhere else in the world, has the ability to display 625 lines of resolution on your television.
What DVD standard does my country use?
If you're in North America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and parts of South America, you use NTSC. Most other areas of the world use PAL. Half of Brazil uses NTSC while the other half uses PAL-M. Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay use PAL-N. The rest of the world uses mainly PAL.
What Does This Mean?
What this means is that if you live in a country that uses NTSC, only this format will be compatible with your player. If you live in a country that uses PAL, most likely only this format will work for you. However, there are many players that will play both formats. The best bet is to check the manual for your DVD player before making a purchase.
What Is the DVD Region System?
DVDs themselves are encoded for a specific region or indicated as 'all region.' On the back cover of many DVD packages, you will a find a region number (0 thru 6) placed inside an image of the Earth. This refers to which region the DVD is encoded for.
The geographical regions are as follows:
- REGION 0: ALL AREAS OF THE WORLD
- REGION 1: USA AND CANADA
- REGION 2: JAPAN, EUROPE, SOUTH AFRICA, AND MIDDLE EAST
- REGION 3: SOUTH KOREAN, TAIWAN, HONG KONG, AND SOUTH EAST ASIA
- REGION 4: AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, CENTRAL AMERICA, MEXICO, AND SOUTH AMERICA
- REGION 5: EASTERN EUROPE, RUSSIA, INDIA, AND AFRICA
- REGION 6: CHINA
The way this works is that DVDs encoded for regions other than Region 1 cannot be played on a region 1 DVD player. In addition, DVD players marketed for other regions cannot play region 1 DVDs. All region (region 0) DVDs may be played anywhere in the world.
The region system was designed to protect copyright and film distribution rights in the sense that movie studios can dictate who can watch what and when.
Please note that there are code free or Universal DVD players on the market that will play any disc from anywhere. Most Home DVD players are subject to region code restrictions, but most computer DVD players will play any DVD.
