Blues Mashup | Howard Levy harmonica
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.3 месяца назад
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 ...

    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?

    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.

      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?

    • @fredyonnet
      @fredyonnet 21 день назад

      ​@@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.

    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!
