The Dean Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 In the right hands (and mouth) the harmonica is a serious instrument. Stevie Wonder on Dave Mason's "Lonely One": http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=FG28_M...feature=related The indcredible Howard Levy on Donald Fagen's tribute to Ray Charles "It's What I Do" (1st solo starts about 2:10): Magic Dick, balls out on the J Geils's classic "Whammer Jammer": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Mississippi Fred McDowell plays a mean harmonica Very nice, but don't forget James Cotton: But for my money, Howard Levy is the modern master of the instrument. Considered the inventor of overblowing (get your mind out of the gutter!) he can play just about any style on the harp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 nothing like a good harp player....john popper used to absolutely wail on the harmonica, then he lost all that weight and i just don't think he had the chops anymore....he still is pretty damned good though with Ziggy....
