Nascimento is a jazz tune written by pianist Barry Harris. It showcases Harris’s bebop-inflected piano voice and has become a staple of his live repertoire. The original recording appears on the 1996 Enja release Barry Harris Live at Dug. A later live version is documented on the 2010 Rennes release credited to Barry Harris with Mathias Allamane and Philippe Soirat. In more recent years, musicians such as Emmet Cohen and Joe Magnarelli have performed Nascimento in live videos, helping keep the piece in circulation on platforms like YouTube and Spotify. The tune sits firmly in the jazz tradition, rooted in bebop and post-bop styles.
