Music reviews of Inspiration: 22 Harmonica Performances
Music Review: Not All Inspirational For Me, But Still A Good Choice
Rating: 3 Stars
I ordered this CD, Inspiration: 22 Harmonica Performances because it has what seems to be a good assortment of several styles of Harmonica playing: Blues, Rock, Jazz, Folk. I am otherwise very knowledgeable about these styles of music in general. I listen regularly to many styles of music, though usually with their more commonly used instruments such as guitar, bass, drums, piano, organ, violin, saxophone, and trumpet, etc. (Yes, the harmonica is commonly used in Blues, Rock, and to a lessor extent, Folk.) I also play harp (harmonica) a little myself. After listening to this CD I can see that the presented examples of Jazz harmonica are just not "my thing." After the first couple "jazz harp" (Chromatic Harmonica most likely), songs, I got bored with the Jazz material. The cause is with my taste, the CD's examples are all representative for the specific sub-styles of music. Academically I might give this CD **** (four stars), but the Jazz just left me emotionally flat. In general I love Jazz music, but obviously not in the Jazz sub-genera played in the harmonica pieces. I might have enjoyed it more if there were Jazz examples of BeBop, Modal, or Fusion with harmonica. Of course, also I might be biased as I was previously familiar with most of the Blues and Rock examples. It is still a good CD for its intended purpose, presenting a compilation of different harmonica playing styles. Also there are few alternatives to this CD out there for such a compilation as most compilations are style specific.
