It was very common in the early years. Late 1800s early 1900s. It was originally called mouth organ and was made for this and folk music. The stereotypical blues stuff you hear today is exactly what it was not made for.
Just wonderful! You have accuracy, dead-on timing, beautiful (and varied) intonation. Plus, you have a very engaging stage presence. I think what you are doing with the chromatic will help this wonderful instrument regain the credibility that Larry Adler and others enjoyed.
3 years late but It actually used to be more common but the harmonica fell victim to it's own innovation making them significantly cheaper shifting their reputation to be lower class and less "refined" than other "classical" instruments. The chromatic stuck around in jazz and the diatonic in blues since they are genres that come from poverty without the aristocratic pretenses of classical music.
it is difficult to dislike this. it is fairly light and infectious, and the soloist appears to be very good. What is the range of this harmonica? My guess would be between one and two octaves, but I'm not sure.
WOW!!! That was absolutely amazing!!! I LOVED it!! Just a side observation lol...The man behind him to our right at 2:10-2:21 is sizing him up!!!! LMBOOO!! .....wonder why....HA!
Philip will be performing in London at Hampstead Jazz Club on February 10th with his own band, playing a selection of jazz and classical arrangements. hampsteadjazzclub.com/whats-on/philip-achille/
Very nice playing... Refreshing!!even more so as it is outdoors and there is no acoustic echo coming back to the ears!!Harmonica is such a fickle and unforgiving instrument if it gets "depressed" and shuts down!..its rude and won't warn you!! What type of chromatic are you using?? regards Corrin Huddleston
@linzee4584 that ain' no ordinary harmonica either.... that's a $10,000 hohner concerto ... only the Suzuki Fabulous compares and even that's not as nice.
+roy childs It 's simply a physical manifestation of what the performer is feeling from the music. Some performers exhibit more such behavior than others. If it distracts one, he or she should just listen. The music is marvelous!
It helps many performers to concentrate and is often part of their memorizing process. In other cases it’s like the mild stimming behavior present in most humans, and some performers can feel extremely uncomfortable when told to stop. And it’s not just the classical folk like Glenn Gould that do it. Jazz biggies like Keith Jarrett and Hiromi have quite wild stage behavior too.
What is most refined instrument? Violin? Bassoon or oboe? Ask about it parents of students who struggle with these instruments while studying.. Talent and enormous load of work make these instruments totally "refined". Chromatic harmonica is not an exception.
Every note sounded wonderful, I had no idea that a harmonica could be played in that way with a full orchestra, it sounded great.
Impressive. I recorded with Larry Adler back in 1970. This guy is really good.
Oh lord! When shall I perform as good as this? This guy is so good.
I did my first Harmonica solo and it was a Phenomenal exprience :)
Huge respect to you Philip, still love listening to this and watching you play all these years afterwards.. 👏🙏🏽
wow, this was playing on my local FM station as I woke up this morning. Had to look it up on YT. It is fabulous.
Another stellar performance by Phillip. Such mastery is a delight to listen. Thank you for the great gift. Jay

Simply gorgeous!
Very well done, what a location for such beautiful music, I wish I was there for it. doc
Fantastic Performance - Bravo -
WHAT A PLAYER
Hey Philip! you made me almost cry!... fantastic!!! hope to see you soon again somewhere into the underground!. Diego Rojas (harpist)
Terrific
Philip's vibrato is absolutely amazing.. i need to learn that..
Good music! This is my first time to listen harmonica concerto.
Just wonderful! You have accuracy, dead-on timing, beautiful (and varied) intonation. Plus, you have a very engaging stage presence. I think what you are doing with the chromatic will help this wonderful instrument regain the credibility that Larry Adler and others enjoyed.
absolutely mesmerizing
this is what i call master of instrument!!!!! and self mastering....
I never knew that the Harmonica could actually be used in a concert with an actual orchestra.
Somebody wrote a whole orchestra for a typewriter. I think anythings possible at this point.
@@TheEdawg77 ya there like 1.5k for one I wish I could afford one but that's why I play harmonica 😅

wow!!!! ameazing!!! es el mas groso de todos... muy buena música!!! exelente!!!

A chromatic, like his, is actually 3 octaves, starting from Middle C.
Thank you for the info! It is always good to learn new things, especially learning new MUSIC things! :)
@@bckm54 a sixteen hole chromatic harmonica actually has 4 octaves. mastersofharmonica.com/seydel-symphony-16-hole-chromatic-harmonica-review/

Corrin Huddleston
excellent performance.
Can anyone give some background on the composer?
It's a special technique called circular breathing, allowing you to constantly blow out and breath in simultaneously :)
@TuboEspectador I believe that
Philip's teacher was Bill Hughes.
Ah, my teacher is actually James Hughes. (I'm the one playing in this video)
wowowowow :O
Serious look on that dude's face, makes it look like work.

@linzee4584 that ain' no ordinary harmonica either.... that's a $10,000 hohner concerto ... only the Suzuki Fabulous compares and even that's not as nice.
Mravilloso
It is a chromatic. You probably have a Diatonic, or simply a chromatic with fewer holes.
божественно!!!!!!
You can thank Larry Adler
@linzee4584 Every instrument can be mastered, but I see what you mean :)
PLEASE...some one can say me what type of harmonica is it.
it's good (and weird)
Watch this: watch?v=lq6qSTahvDg
Victor Hugo Diaz was also a brilliant player!
How does all that "body English" help?

Probably.
@@rvc6506 don’t be such a little snob.

And it’s not just the classical folk like Glenn Gould that do it. Jazz biggies like Keith Jarrett and Hiromi have quite wild stage behavior too.
Obviously, @roy childs does not play a musical instrument.
@iPodiRockuSuck See size doesn't really matter.
Is that harmonica electronically transmitted to the speakers?
+Xtcnyc 23 Philip is wearing a clip-on mike - if you look closely you will see it - also wireless connection to the speakers.
Ah yes, I got you.
first it is transmitted to an amplifier and then to the speakers.
some are draw notes and some are blow notes
surely those that don't like this kind of music do like reggaeton, pop, and other decadent shIt music
nicolas olmos olmos I think you sound pathetic. music is music. People obviously have different tastes in music.
certainly not the most refined of instraments... but he rocked it
No it’s refined you just uppity
What is most refined instrument?
Violin? Bassoon or oboe? Ask about it parents of students who struggle with these instruments while studying.. Talent and enormous load of work make these instruments totally "refined". Chromatic harmonica is not an exception.
Yea don't try doing that with any other kind of harmonica.
