lol. It's so easy mindlessly shred on a harp but so hard to play melodies and improvisations even half as cleanly as this guy does. Easily one of the hardest instruments to master and not accidentally play a diad when you wanted a single note.
nemo227 " Then reality sets in. " , just bought my first SW1664 Chromatic , I wanna open a cold can of WhupAzz on reality ( HATE to think I just pissed $70 buks away ). Liked your comment tho'
Whoa! Such precision with some mighty swing. Reminds me of hearing Al Jarreau sing/scatting Take Five. Achille demonstrates how expressive the Harmonica can be. Respect. Jam on!
I just got my first chromatic. I am so excited to learn. You’re my inspiration. Im a piano player. But the harmonica’s beautiful color and tone has me enamored.
A tip if you have the money, buy another brand of Harmonica, I have one and the quality of the build (and the sound) was really bad. it's good for practice though.
3:42 that was a dirty lick, great playing man. Regardless of your absurd technical harmonica abilities you have a really interesting style that really suits the instrument. keep it up
Who are the ones who gave it a thumbs down, I am 77yrs of age and spent my life wanting to be as good as this. Awesome Philip. You are up there with the greats Larry, Toots Etc Etc .should have mentioned your Mentor The Great Jim Hughes.
Wow! RUclips algorithms bubbled up this video this morning. I've played harmonicas for over 50 years. Take 5 is one I learned decades ago but on diatonic. Chromatic is a higher special beast and you have it down! You have a gift -----
Philip’s skill is impeccable for this piece. 🎼👍🏻 He plays Eb as Paul Desmond’s piece is in Eb. Almost all notes in Eb key on a C chromatic are slide in except some of the hole 7 draw, one hole 5 draw, and one hole 5 blow and some hole 4 draws and hole 3 draws. Lucky this song is short. So the pain to play Eb on a C chromatic harmonica is short.
We recognize a master class not by the hole number, nor after whether the slider is used more or less. One of the factors that indicate mastery in terms of playing the chromatic harmonica it is using multi-voice playing, in thirds, sixths, especially in octaves. Nevertheless, it is true that certain keys for selected songs for the chromatic harmonica there are better ones and some worse ones. For example, we don't like playing Monti's Czardas, however, Hora Staccato Dinicu is played very well.
This really reminds me of my granpa, I never met him he died when I was about 11 months old but appearently he was a great jazz harmonica player, I heard a record of him from 1960...I'd really would like to jam with him as a guitarist...Thanks for uploading dude :) Sounds awesome!
Unheimlich Bezaubernde 🪄 Variante , Gespielt 🕶️ auf , mit dem Schnauzenhobel 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂 Einfach zu bezeichnen als Mega - Genial 📈 . Big Thanks from Good Old Germany 🇩🇪 🙋
I was not aware in anyway that you can play JAZZ with the harp! Going to learn some Lee Morgan with my new chromatic! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😁 Also you are a phenomenal musician! Sounded like Coltrane!
제 가슴깊이 귀 기울여 잘 감상하였습니다.님의 영상에 잠시 넋을 놓다 갑니다.순간 멋진 매력적으로 만들어 버리는 능력이 있으십니다. 우주속같은 알고리즘이 나를 이곳으로 선택해주셨습니다. I listened deeply in my heart and enjoyed it well. I am fascinated by your video for a while. You have the ability to make it a wonderful and attractive moment. An algorithm that looks like the universe has chosen me here. Thanks for the algorithm that made it possible to see a good video. I hope that the disease will disappear as soon as possible, and at the same time, I would like to give my heartfelt praise and support with my heart and sincerity, hoping that your channel will gradually develop and develop into a very large channel. 좋은 영상 볼수 있게 해준 알고리즘에 감사드려요. 가능한 한 빨리 질병이 사라지기를 바라며 동시에 님 채널이점차 발전하여 아주 큰 채널로 발전하기를 진심으로 제 마음정성 가득히 담은 칭찬과 응원을 드리렵니다.
Playing the changes on such a piece with this much elegance and clarity, I think as a jazz student I'll transcribe it and pick up a lot of licks , best regards great sir 😀
Watched/listened to your Take Five again. After 3 months it still takes my breath away. Its your masterpiece man... until you come up with another one. Never heard such strong and tasteful use of double stops on harp like this.
It's amazing how when you play your harmonica belongs to your soul. I am a left handed chromatic harmonica beginner. Hearing your make dream ! From Day to Day I Will work to improve my skills in playing harmonica. Thank you for your vidéo. You are for me one of the player I prefer to listen to.
This is ridiculously good. Tell me he’s famous. This is Toots Theilman/ Madcat Ruth level genius. Mastering the chromatic!! Give me lessons sir please.
Oh man, that's good! At first I was thinking that he's just staying in the key, first solo, but then you did something different, something you just don't hear many harp players do. I like how you go back to the head after a few choruses too. Really nice.
i play diatonic harp, just started playing the chromatic. And once im able to play this song ill be happy with my chromatic skills, until then i have a lot of work to do hehehe. Amazing sound and amazing cover, thank you for the inspiration and example! much love from Brazil
Thank you very mutch for your videos, J think sincerely you are the best harmonica cromatic player, about any point of view : sound, way of playin', feeling, and sense of improvisation. Bravo!
This is the way we all hope to play when we first buy a harmonica. Then reality sets in.

@@stevehtml5490 I used to be impatient when I couldn't learn something quickly and then I began to understand that we learn what we live with . . .
Lol no truer words have ever been spoken.
@@nemo227wow, I agreed
Its nice to hear a harmonica player with outrageous abilities who can still manage to sound good, and play with soul.
+Gachitadamunga Thank you so much for your comment. That's really nice of you to say.
Charlie Parker take 5 on harmonica superb.
Actually it's Dave Brubeck with Paul Desmond on sax. Paul Desmond wrote the song.
that's a fact 👍👍👍
Philip Achille You got that Turner look. We kin somewhere back.
This blows me away every time I watch it.
I see what u did there
to me too am a great fan
Goosebumps every time. Stunningly beautiful.
Back 5 years later and still watching. You play with so much feeling man!
*The Return of The King*
@@twinkytwinklier4047 Precisely ... we are waiting for his return. Me for almost a decade.. What mastery .. what rhythm !
Whoa! Such precision with some mighty swing.
Reminds me of hearing Al Jarreau sing/scatting Take Five. Achille demonstrates how expressive the Harmonica can be. Respect. Jam on!
Notes are so cleanly played in this rapid jazz piece. Take Five is no easy song to play by any means great job Sir Philip!
Somebody get this man a beer!! I would pay to get even an online masterclass from him! Christ!
I just got my first chromatic. I am so excited to learn. You’re my inspiration. Im a piano player. But the harmonica’s beautiful color and tone has me enamored.
What harmonica did you get? Just curious.. Good studying!
Vivian Heo I got the SWAN 1248. Love it.
I got the same one, very good
Hey man its been a year hows it going so far ?

What was his name? The recording might be on you tube.
Yeah whats his name?
wonderful articulation, strong command of the Chromatic.
Dave Brubeck. Fabulous playing, Sir.
That's the finest harmonica playing I've ever seen. You, Sir, have an astounding talent.
OMG...my new musical hero.❤
What a beautiful rendition of a timeless standard. Love it.
Wow! Such precise notes, how do you do it? Outstanding!!! Thank you for that wonderful music, my ears are so happy!
Brillante! ..y termina con un cierre que recuerda a nuestro Hugo Diaz❤
Mindblowingly fabulous!
The harmonica blows my mind, and draws me in..
I love the nod to "Nature Boy" you snuck in too.

And I came back again.....just love

👍😍정말 잘 하시네요 잘 들었습니다.
Gosh! This is crazy smooth! Really proves how mellow a harmonica can sound with the right musician! Wow...
I love the sound of these; it always reminds me of the early '80s because there were so many songs that used them.
Genial!!!! Muchas gracias, Maestro!!!
