Music Reviews of Inspiration: 22 Harmonica Performances
Music Review: The range of styles and sounds just blew me away !
Rating: 5 Stars
What a collection! It covers about every genre ofharp you could imagine (jazz, Chicago blues,
Country blues, Brazilian, straight country, rock,
Irish, harmonica group, standards etc.) featuring
both chromatic, diatonic (and some excellent
diatonic being played chromatically).
Excellent examples of the many styles, from many of
the greats of the instrument (some of whom I'd
never heard of). This single CD covers so much
musical ground it's truly amazing -- and a true
inspiration to any harp player who respects the
instrument.
J.J. really outdid himself in finding fabulous
examples of truly great harmonica performances
demonstrating the range and depth of the
instrument. The fidelity is excellent. Thoroughly
enjoyable and expansive. Highly recommended.
Thank you J.J.!! It was obviously a labor of love.
Music Review: Excellent Harmonica Anthology
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a fine, budgeted anthology of the varying heroes of the harmonica. Unlike most such anthologies, the Blues and country music are not all that's here. Most of the big names familiar to hardocre harmonicists, such as pioneers Lou Adler, Borrah Manckevitch, and Deford Bailey are here as well as more recent stalwarts as Little Walter Jacobs, James Cotton, Toots Thielemans, and Stevie Wonder (here performing "Alfie' from the "Eivets Rednow" album). All major harmonica styles are covered here, and it's a good introduction to the musical diverity and possiblilities of this one-neglected instrument. Harmonicists will treasure this, and it will be an ejoyable listen to the casual fan. Oh yeah, play "Moody" on this CD after a hard day at work and you will have the exact opposite mood that the title of this song indicates.Music Review: They all can play.
Rating: 4 Stars
The music on this disc is all very good. The order of play leaves something to be desired but it is a good collection of harmonica music.
