Bluegrass Harmonica - David Naiditch CD
This bluegrass instrumental CD features the chromatic harmonica. The harmonica isn t commonly used in bluegrass, and bluegrass chromatic harmonica is extremely rare. Bluegrass harmonica players, the few that exist, typically use diatonic harmonicas to create a raw, bluesy sound, sometimes accompanied with chord chugging. In contrast, the chromatic, when played properly, can produce a pure, sweet fiddle-like sound and can handle intricate melody lines. All the tunes on this CD are played with C-tuned chromatic harmonicas, mostly the Seydel Saxony and Hohner CX-12 Jazz. The harmonica harmonies on tunes such as The Lovers Waltz, Dixie Hoedown, Whiskey Before Breakfast, and Jerusalem Ridge were produced with multiple harmonica tracks. The other musicians on this CD are all great bluegrass players. Banjoist Pat Cloud has taken melodic playing to new heights, and is equally fluent in jazz and bluegrass. He has played with bluegrass greats such as Clarence and Roland White. Pat has two instruction manuals, Key to Five-String Banjo and Straight-Ahead Jazz for Banjo, both published by Mel Bay. Eric Uglum plays lead guitar on all the tunes, except for Blue Violet Waltz. He also plays rhythm guitar and mandolin. Eric has been in many topnotch bluegrass bands, such as Lost Highway, and has recorded with bluegrass artists such as Alison Krauss and Ralph Stanley. In addition to playing the guitar and mandolin, Eric recorded, mixed, and mastered this CD at his New Wine Sound Studio. At 20, Eric s son, Austin Ward, is already recognized as a master bassist with great timing and tone. His fingers effortlessly glide across the strings, producing a smooth, yet swinging feel that holds the band together. Steve Trovato plays lead guitar on Blue Violet Waltz. Steve is known as the great chameleon because he has mastered so many styles country, blues, jazz, and rock. Hope you enjoy listening to this CD as much as I did recording it.
