Hope y'all will indulge me, I'm going to post two harmonica instrumentals. This first one is with the JAZFRED RS and I'm playing a chromatic harmonica. It's a blues, but jazz's version of the blues. The one I post after this will be more of a straight blues with the little 10 hole harmonica.

That's some seriously good harmonica playing. Well done.


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

Gotta agree with Ghostgum ... some real serious harmonica playing. Perhaps just a touch of reverb might have been a good thing. But, I assure you, it's dang good as is! Great stuff .. loved it!

Cool playing but there's some crackling going on under the harmonica lines for the 1st minute in particular - did it record dirty or is it triggering something?
I like a smidgen of delay on those things but you'll have to sort out the crackle 1st.

Hi Tunemonger,

I know that this is not a good charcter trait, but I have to admit that all my life I've envied people who can play the harmonica, even if they played it less well than you do.

But the way you play is so top-notch - really enjoyed the listen a lot, love the jazzy vibe.

Looking forward to MORE !!!!

Take care,

Stefan

Ive' always enjoyed harmonica music...
Perhaps because I remember hearing "Peg O' My Heart" being played at my grandparents home...
I can only imagine how difficult a chromatic harmonica can be to master...
I will look forward to hearing the other version.

TuneMonger, I wish I could play one of those! I'll just have to do a cheap imitation on a keyboard for now! Great job on the tune! I love Jazz and it sounds like you do too! Thanks, Torrey

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Real nice feel for jazzy blues on that harp. Looking forward to hearing you play the 10-hole.

What a tune! As others said, your harmonica playing is superb here. I also loved the groove and the backing instrumentation you chose for this one. Really easy to follow, and makes for an engaging and fun listen.

Great work and thanks for sharing smile

Coool jazz blues.
Excellent, smooth playing!
Only thing, there are minor audio artifacts on the record, but I think it actually sounds interesting, gives sort of vintage sound to this tune.

P.S. I picked up an older Hohner super chromonica at local flea couple of weeks back. (could not resist) Cleaned it... have no idea how to play it. Your tune is very inspirational, will try to understand how it works.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Thanks to all for the encouraging words. Thanks also for the technical tips, they are appreciated just as much. I'm still sorting things out, hopefully I will figure out the noise problem.
