Gregg Coffey is a world-class artist and good friend. This features an overview of the works of the master Printmaker/Painter alongside my original music. All the sounds were created with harmonicas (some electronically treated), shakers, plucked bass harmonica reeds, clarinet (either conventionally or percussive keying), a bit of piano…the last part is a low-D pennywhistle with a microphone taped inside and run through a phase shifter!
Bob Kessler is a harmonica colorist…
Using the well-loved sound of the pocket-sized instrument, he warps, reshapes, layers and loops live on stage to create something new yet familiar. His musical approach celebrates the harmonica's undeniable ability to connect with the hearts of an audience and extends the range of a solo performance to the orchestral. Rhythmic figures and drones from the at-times-otherworldly bass harmonica combine with its more common cousins, the diatonic harmonica (often called "blues harps") to create a live music experience informed by jazz, world music, modern classical and minimalism.
