Blues Mashup | Howard Levy harmonica
Переглядів 3,6 тис.3 місяці тому
I did a free-flowing, spontaneous mashup of my favorite old blues songs (ending with a surprise Irish lament) that just use one chord and have a very loose drone-like structure. They can put you into a trance! If you are a blues fan, you should know all 4 of them, at least 3! Leave your answer in the comments ✏️ (Anyone know that last Irish one?🎵) ► Howard’s harmonica books Rhythms of the Breat...

For everyone who follows me here, I'd like you to meet my father, Ira Levy. The clip here is from an hour-long program my dad and I played on October 24, 2023, with my mom, 97, proudly watching. I’m always in awe of his incredible operatic baritone voice, and it seems to get stronger with age! This remarkable man is a WWII veteran who landed on D-Day; an exceptional fencer who defeated members ...

How to Play Riff-Based Bluesy Sax Licks on Harmonica
Wow This so inspiring! Thank’s
Interesting how do you tune your harp. Im used to regular marine band and just compromise. Now I ordered volume 2 of your book. Very inspiring and see if I can take a step further Thanks alot
Please, Mr. Levy, make it available on Kindle devices.
Estos sonidos son de otro planeta. Gracias Maestro Howard!!!!
This is exactly why Big Walter loved playing call and response with Sax players 😎
Brilliant 😎
I managed to do impromptu reed gapping at a blues open mic a few weeks ago. It felt like a rite of passage.
Great video. I was wondering about any transitional music that was sort of in between these two genres, possibly Benny Goodman, Art Tatum or Coleman Hawkins.
I like the solo without overblows and overdraws best! There's more space in it and the tones are more natural..... I'm just entering the jazz world. Managed to play the head of Street Life on a low Eb. But now the solo ..... I think it's in F minor, anybody with suggestions?
The more i watch this, the more remarkable it is. Mr Levy, i cannot thank you enough
Stunning.
Omigod
Is stevie wonder sitting off stage with Toots Thielmans and little Walter? All playing sequential parts to accommodate the changes? This is impossible!! From a blues harp? Stunning. Absolutely stunning!! And to think I thought u were simply a genius piano man.... I am crawling off to weep
Damm ghe fucking tshirts dont let me see the screen.
Thanks Howard for that great explanation.
Amazing!
Very impressive.
Tasty !
Best musicology lecture ever! And with a flippin' harmonica as the demo instrument! 😂 I love it!
I watched this whole thing before I looked at the name on the channel and realized that my parents had their minds blown by him and Bela Fleck back in the 80s 😂
Great explanation. What's the origin of the name 'Bebop'?
So smooth and beautiful. What brand of harmonica do you use?
Brilliant, well played. Walter from Liverpool Merseyside England
Beautiful - Thank you!
This video was fun to watch and very informative! I can now pinpoint the spot where I went from loving instrumental music to thinking it was a bit too busy, and not quite as nice for my personal taste. I think you hit the nail in the head when you said swing was designed for dancing. It’s easy to move to and speaks to my inate sense of rhythm.
Very well done explained and demonstrated!!! You must be a teacher in addition to being an accomplished musician. 👍🏼
❤❤❤
Mr. Levy literally you're the GOAT without a doubt. I have been playing harmonica for a long time and I would be elated to hit one fourth the notes you do. Your inspiration is exasperating to me.
And the tone, oh my the tone! Full and rich all the way!
Love it
On a G harp? lolll Already then :) Much Respect!
I know that a C harp plays standard blues in G, so a G harp would play standard blues in D. Is he playing bebop on a G harp in the key of C?
@@ifolkinrock I put common "harmonica knowledge" to the side to follow Howard. His perspective is far more comprehensive and logical. Howard is definitely playing CMaj a G harp here. The equivalent would be FMaj on a C harp.
@@ifolkinrock note to self: he sounds just as fluid in all keys of any harmonica.
Thank you, my friend!
Wow. Best vid I've seen in a while.
I agree 👍💯.
B harps are really popular in Japan for some reason.
How do you play bebop on harmonica😭😭😭😭
Dudes a music wizard
THE MAN
Wow. Thank you.
Wow, I learned more in this 3min explanation on the difference from swing to Bebop than I did reading books or watching documentaries on it..😂
A lot of commenters here don't know who Howard Levy is. He's continuing the lineage of Toots Thielemans. Plus he's one of the original members of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. A true master.
Saw him live a couple times 20 years ago with drummer Steve Smith. Saw him on TV once, he demonstrated a chromatic scale on a diatonic harmonica by use of note bending.
Awesome! You’re incredible! Multitalented - one-man band!❤️
...so now he's got THREE brains. We're SO fucked. 😳🤣
Bebop lines on a diatonic harp ... with piano chords? Wow!!
Very very enjoyable! You are a true virtuoso!
😅😅 please make more tutorial about jazz bebop Piano..thanks
😅😅great teacher
❤❤❤

Who is this amateur clown in my recommendations? He doesn't even play the drums and sing while playing the harmonica in synchopation with piano runs. He needs a lesson from a top10 artist and DJ. They can play all instruments like hitting one button.
ngl had me at the first half
Bebop happened the saxophone player was drunk during a jam, forgot the tune was in major and played a IIb5-V7b9-Im..oh s***-Imaj7 to everyone’s astonishment.The drummer was so shocked he started placing the bass drum on weird beats and the bass player started walking all over the place in search of the One. The trumpet player got all Dizzy and flipped the saxophone player the Bird. All happened in seconds and rythm-changed the world!
Reet.
Funny but no. Bird was just a genius who changed the world.
Impossible be better
