Jazz on Chromatic Harmonica and Flute
I love jazz for providing a medium where individual expression is shaped by collaborative interaction, feeding on each other, creating something more than the sum of the parts. Being in the moment, ever new!
Although not traditional jazz instruments, pioneer jazz masters Toots Thielemans (chromatic harmonica), and Herbie Mann / Hubert Laws (flute) have proven the unique expressiveness of their instruments in the jazz idiom.
Musical collaborations foster enduring friendships, and its a joy to share these musical adventures with such good people and talented musicians:
Sugar – by Stanley Turintine
Marty Howe Jazz Trio – Marty Howe – Chromatic Harmonica, with the incredibly talented Marty Steele on keyboard, and Larry Greenwood on drums at Front Street Grill Nanaimo, BC.
Notice how Marty Steele plays bass on a separate keyboard with his left hand in the style of Jimmy Smith. The bass player and keyboard player get along very well!
