- Bob Dylan Harmonica
Despite the rumour that Bob Dylon doesn't actually count to what we understand under 'a harmonica player', we apprechiate the countless number of harmonica racks that have been sold due to his way of playing.
Anyways, here they are:
Thirty all-time great songs by the maestro arranged for harmonica. The first 24 tunes are for both diatonic and chromatic harmonicas and the rest can only be played on 12-hole chromatic harmonicas.

- CD - Baker, Wallenstein, Röttger - Blues Culture
Super Blues CD with all of it: Ballads, Meditations, real blues rocking too. Garnished with the pope of European harp scene, Steve Baker.
- CD - Baker/Wallenstein - Step In Time
We are often asked for Steve Baker CDs, however, there are no CDs were he is named as the author. There are many with him as a part of a team, and one of his cloest teamsters is Abi Wallenstein. Here some beautiful blues roots, partially with another harper, Henry Heggen. Great !
- CD - Blue Mama - Yin Yang Blues
Those who have found their way into this corner will have realized that here you find merely the players who have crossed our path.
So, introducing "Blue Mama" Renate Brown, singer and harper from Germany. She refers to herself as the "quota woman" standing alone among usually male harmonica players. However, she should realise that the female quota on this site alone has reached the 50% mark.
- CD - Blues Blend - Confused
Blues with small shot of RockabillyThis is how one could describe this Album. We met Harmonica player Henning Eichler in 2004 at Harmonica Masters Workshops in Trossingen were he studied with Joe Filisko and Carlso delJuncoOn the appearings there, he once played "Chuck-A-Boogie" acompanied by star performer Chris Jones and his splendid band, and Henning played it that ear-going, that I still heard the groove days later.
- CD - Carlos del Junco - Big Boy
Information in English will be available soon
Diese CD von 1998 strotzt vor Spielwitz und ist eindeutig unbluesiger als die Live CD.
Die Bends sind flüssiger, die Harp fließt in die Akkorde und wieder raus, unglaublich.
Für eingefleischte Harper ist allein schon das Cover der Hammer. Ein Blick in Carlos' Harpkoffer voller Golden Melodies in all seinen verschiedenen Stimmungen.
Schaut mal ins Extra Info !
- CD - Carlos del Junco - Blues Mongrel
One listens to the man who bent his first notes on the age of 14 and it's obvious he's a class with such greats as Toots Thielemans, Paul Butterfield and Howard Levy, the man who influenced Carlos playing style most. Toronto Blues done hard and done right with blisteringly steady rhythms, branding Del Junco's band as the future of squalling, squaking electric blues. . . . fiery harmonica fueled jumping blues.

Wer die Carlos-Saga in den Medien verfolgt, dem wird eher so was wie Jazz oder Latin hängen geblieben sein. Völliger Blödsinn, dieses Album hier ist Blues Rock pur. Zumindest geht das Ding so los. Die paar Ausflüge in etwas swing-angehauchtere Stücke gegen Ende wirken schon fast als Ausrede !Das tollste an dem Album ist die Tatsache, dass es live eingespielt ist. Super, was man mit der Harp alles anstellen kann, selbst wenn man dem Blues immer treu bleibt dabei !
- CD - Filisko & Noden - Live
Joe Filisko's one and only CD. Joe is recognized among harmonica players as the most advanced harmonica
customizer of all.
However, he himself would prefer to be known as a player, teacher and
preserver of pre-war harmonica styles, Blues, Gospel and Country.
This CD is the only audio-document available showcasing all elements of this
extraordinary musical personality. Not only does Filisko preserve the harmonica's history, he has also written and contributed some of that history.
Joe is accompanied here by guitar player, Eric Noden and it's all live. . .
- CD - Jens Bunge - Meet You In Chicago
He's acknowledged to be THE German Jazz virtuoso worldwide. Those who normally not necessarily adore Jazz music beyond New Orleans style will be extremely surprised. All songs are very different, particularly conspicuous are the smooth and clear sololines, whether played by Jens or by his brilliant comusicians. At the latest while listening to the track no 6 (The Summer knows) you will realise, that very extraordinary musicians did their job here.
- CD - Jouko Kyhälä - Saalas
The driving force behind SVÄNG, a great musical innovator of the harmonicas in tradtional constructions. The only scientist of the western hemishere, that actually has graduated in this genre. This CD is the passport to real mastership and the verification of his utmost proficiencyDue to western listening habits, the music seems to have Irish roots, however, reading the cover more carefully teaches that most of the songs are from Finnish folk. A mixture of meditative, sometimes melancholic elements, enriched with virtuous parts, however, always easy to listen to giving a relaxed feeling. If you want to hear something real new:Here it is!

- CD - Steve Baker - Chris Jones - Gotta Look Up
Steve Bakers fourth and tragically last outing together with his longtime partner Chris Jones "Gotta Look Up" offers an exciting collection of new songs and presents the duo in top form both musically and lyrically. "Gotta Look Up" was mixed and mastered by the beginning of August 2005 and the cover artwork was finished shortly afterwards. The release date had already been set for October 1st, when the shocking news of Chris Jones' illness came. He died a short while later on September 13th 2005. This CD is his very last recording and represents the final musical legacy of one of the truly great guitarists, singers and songwriters of our time.
- CD - Steven De bryn - The Rhythm Junks
The ones of you expecting the 250th repeat of a classic Blues harmonica style will be dissapointed. Steven belongs to that small number of harmonical players, that don't wanna sound bluesy. The music is dedicated to a class A Horn section, all pieces are arranged and composed by band members. And the harp is superb, you will know, why Steven is said to be the No 1-harmonica-player in Belgium. Besides, the cover is worth a buy!
- CD - SVÄNG
SVÄNG from Finnland is the reincarnation of the classic Harmonica Quartet, the nowadays shooting star in the sky of this almost died out genre.

When harmonica player/vocalist Mellow Yellow sings in a voice like
sandpaper, about his musical experiences on the street plus lonesome

Mellow plays the harmonica so earthily his cradle could have rocked in the
Mississippi Delta, however he comes from Baden, in Southern Germany.

- CD Hermine Deurloo - Sozinhos
Hermine Deurloo, Chromatic harmonica virtuoso from Amsterdam, meets guitar player Ricardo Insunza and the Brasilian bossa nova at its best.
- CD Howard Levy and Paul Sprawl
Many people that listen to Howard Levy are moaning, that he never plays the Blues. However, they should be happy because there must be a musical style left for the rest of the harmonica players. . . . . . Seriously now: This CD could be called a Blues CD, if both artists wouldn't drift out into the Nirwana of extremely artistic virtuosity. Well, call it Blues, if you like.
- CD Jens Bunge - Pas De Deux
No absolute, however reliable indication is to listen to music during concentrated work.
If you have to switch off irritated sooner or later you have a got an opinion.
Jens Bunges latest CD will win this test in in a superior manner. Even more: In a way the music has the effect to be meditative.
Very recommended!

The following spring in 2003 Howard was here with exceptional piano player Anthony Molinaro and we could buy a small number of these splendid CDs. Not to get at every corner. Some left.
- CD Marc Breitfelder / Feed My Body To The Fishes.....
The story on this CD is sort of a chain of spontaneous ideas and reactions. Marc Breitfelder and Jack Cook (from Seattle) played together as streetmusicians. Next thing Marc did was making a telephone call to producer Tom Ripphahn to ask him to produce a new CD. This was enough to set things in motion. On a very short notice things were arranged and with a band of high skilled musicians it took only 3 nights to record this juwel. In the studio an "old fashioned" setting was used whereby the musicians played live in also "old fashioned" Neumann microphones, and even more important, had eye contact and played together thus being able to react on anything anyeone did. This gives the final result a real live-like character.
- CD Marc Breitfelder / Take A Butcher's Knife
Take A Butchers Knife?, Breitfelders companion here is Ryan Donohue. The tracks here are even more old-timey than on the former album, adding fiddle and banjo tunes to the mix. Great harp playing. Good and quite different contributions to a lively German blues scene.
- CD Peter Crow C
Winner of the German Gramophone Prize 2005. One of the most convincing acoustic blues recordings from Germany.
Also featuring one of the world's leading customizers, harmonica player Tony Ramos.
- CD Reisler feat. Howard Levy - At Night At The Roses Tango
Some people regard Howard Levy as a kind of academic virtuoso, a musical
high performance sportsman and some believe they can talk themselves out of
the situation where Howard shows (with his playing technics), that on this
tiny bluesharp, things are possible other than simply fiddling up and down
the 3 simple chords (always to the same stamping rhythm).
After listening to this CD, those people will have an even harder argument
to face now, this is pure melody and I'd like to see the stone that has no
tear twinkling in its. . .
. . . well, okay, stones don't have eyes, but after hearing this CD, even a
stone will have ears, that's for sure!
- CD Steppin' Out - Home
Blues Rock with fine BluesharpWhen hearing the word "blues", those who think of ?oh the world is so sad because my baby left me again? don?t know STEPPIN? OUT. The band represents contemporary blues with power and the love of music. Whether they perform in a stadium as the opening act for Status Quo or in a small club, they don?t just capture blues fans.
- CD The Farm / Beata Kossowska & LeBlue
Admittedly, the cover is not too fantastic. But the content. Who has ever seen and listened to this woman will be excited. What style?. Ethno-Blues-Jazz-Rock, a completely individual mixture between Eastern European harmonies and Jazz-Rock, played from first class Polish professionals on an excellent level.
- CD The gerMANs / That's Allright
Born out of the Kiel blues scene, which is lovingly documented by producer Marc Breitfelder in the lavish booklet accompanying this set, the GerMANs is a loose aggregation of musicians, consisting of Detlef Reimers on vocals and guitar, Marc himself (almost stealing the show with some outstanding playing in a variety of styles) on harmonica and Georg Schroeter on piano and vocals, Jan Mohr, Jack Cook or Daffy Deblitz on guitars. The warm-voiced Detlef is the only constant player throughout and the approach, as one might expect, is wonderfully diverse, from a folksy, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee inspired cover of John Mayall?s 1969 single ?Don?t Waste My Time? and an accomplished, achingly wistful blues rendering of Bob Dylan?s ?Don?t Think Twice? to a good old-fashioned rocking and rolling rendition of Big Boy Crudup?s ?Mean Old Frisco? and the Cajun flavoured rocker ?Come On Down?. In between these two extremes are a lovely jug-band styled version of Jazz Gillum?s ?Crazy About You?, a couple of ?classic blues? items, some raggy East Coast styled playing and tougher Mississippi inflected numbers.

Von Wolfgang Sack wurden wir auf diesen unglaublichen Musiker aufmerksam gemacht. György Ferenczis Virtuosität ist unantastbar, gewissermaßen. Darüberhinaus spielt der Mann auch noch Geige und er singt. Die Musik?Nicht wirklich einzuordnen, Ferenczi ist Ungar und die Einflüsse der ungarischen Volksmusik sind unverkennbar. Die Bluesharp bleibt immer bluesig dabei, vielleicht k?nnte man auch eine Countryharp draus machen. Der absolute Koffer ist die Persiflage auf James Browns "I feel good", Titel 12 auf der CD. Wirklich empfehlenswert, jedoch nichts für Harper mit schwachem Selbstwertgefühl.

- Richard Hunter - Jazz Harp
BOOK - CD
Until recently, jazz has been an idiom largely neglected by harp players, for several reasons. First, there haven't been many players with the technical ability needed to play modern jazz, and until very recently, most people with that ability were interested exclusively in classical styles. In addition, the harp itself is not designed in a way that makes jazz easy to play. Jazz requires a smooth, legato attack, and accents in a jazz line can fall on any part of the beat. It's hard to play the harp legato becauseof constant breath shifts, and even harder to accent freely. That's why some very skilled harp players have said that they doubt that it's possible to play jazz on the harp.
Richard Hunter doesn't agree. He majored in music at Harvard University before working with a variety of jazz and rock bands. He says of 'Jazz Harp':'It was meant to inspire harmonica players to reach for the same goals as their counterparts on other instruments'.
Music, exercises, theory, and technique in the jazz and pop styles of Stevie Wonder, Toots Thielemans, Tom Scott, King Curtis, and others. Note-for-note solos for chromatic and marine band harmonica.

- Steve Baker - Blues Culture in Concert
Live CDFor several years, fans have been asking for a live CD which documents the spontaneity and vitality of Abi, Steve and Martin's on-stage performances. It took a while, but it's finally in the bag: When BluesCulture perform, songs seem to evolve organically and at their own pace, frequently without any conscious planning on the part of the band. These tunes were recorded at three concerts in and around Hamburg in January and March 2009 and combine elements from country blues, rock'n'roll, funk, roots music and more, highlighting the musicians' individual styles while reflecting a clearly defined band concept. The live shows unmistakeably underline the shamanistic side of performing music, where band and audience come together as one to celebrate a trance-like state of mutual ecstasy, rather than just acceding to the demands of show business.

- Howard Levy - New Directions for Harmonica
DVD, 30 chapters Most genius musicians develop their concepts decades before the
broader public even understand it and the fact is mirrored perfectly in this unique
DVD:
Everything that's discussed nowadays regarding advanced playing technique on
a Diatoinic Bluesharp was discovered and put on this DVD by Howard back in 1992
in 30 clear and and easily understandable lessons.
The only thing which is outdated today is the "then times" harmonica in common use,
the Hohner Golden Melody is no longer the best Overblowing Harp out of the Box.
However, this was before Joe Filisko came into play. . . but that's another story. . . .
