"Alfie" - Chromatic harmonica

[harmonicajazzcm]

Thank very much !

[mlockey1]

Nice job! Love the warm, winsome tones.

[skipper8257]

This is better than Stevie's version. Incredible smooth and soothing tones. Thanks so much.

[harmonicajazzcm]

@skipper8257

Thank you very much for this great compliments.

Nevertheless, I really like very much the Stevie's version.

[skipper8257]

@harmonicajazzcm

Stevie,s version is fantastic but he does not get to mellow tones that you do. His is a little hard on the ears unlike yours. Maybe it's just a different type of harmonica. I will keep listening to your version. My father, God Rest His Soul, loved to play. I, however took up the guitar and keyboards and have been playing them for the last fiftie years. Thanks for responding.

[harmonicajazzcm]

@skipper8257

The sound does not depend on the harmonica, the sound chiefly comes from the harmonica player.

Thank you for what you think of my sound.

@skipper8257 No offense to harmonicajazzcm becuase this is a great cover, but he ain't got s**t on Stevie.

[harmonicajazzcm]

@cmoneypieces

[jjmilteau]

bravo, j'adore ce morceau. bonne année à vous.

[harmonicajazzcm]

@jjmilteau

Merci Jean-Jacques.

Malgré tout, je joue ce morceau (que j'adore aussi !) très en dessous de ce que je voudrais le jouer (ma santé me limite beaucoup !). J'adore la façon de le jouer qu'a Stevie Wonder.

Je vous souhaite aussi une très bonne année 2010.

Christian.

[harmonicajazzcm]

@jjmilteau

J'ai oublié de vous dire que c'est grâce à vous que j'ai découvert ce magnifique morceau (que je n'avais jamais entendu par ailleurs) joué par Stevie Wonder. C'était lors de l'émission que vous aviez faite sur TSF89.9 "Harmonica Story" en février 2002. Je l'avais entièrement enregistrée sur un enregistreur MD.

Donc, merci à vous.

Christian.

[jjmilteau]

il figure sur le recueil d'harmonicistes "Inspirations" que j'ai commis pour Universal en 2001.

smagliante interpretazione di una delle mie preferite di Bacharach!

[harmonicajazzcm]

@psalvustube

Thank you very much psalvustube.

[McGueuze]

y'a rien a faire, tu incarne a merveille la tranquilité

[harmonicajazzcm]

@McGueuze

Il faut dire aussi que le thème et l'accompagnement sont magnifiques !

[hde3000]

superbe interprétation. Merci Christian

[harmonicajazzcm]

@hde3000

Merci hde3000 !

[MrCoxson]

Very nice version. Thank you. You handle the cx12-Jazz very good. I play too - not as good as you - and I prefer to play an Toots-Mellow-Tone or super64x, as they sound not as harsh as the cx-12-jazz. But you play it very well.

[harmonicajazzcm]

@MrCoxson

Thank you !

I prefer CX12JAZZ because it has the best response among all the chromatics that I know.

[MarceloBatista1]

Hi, Christian! Keep this one!

Niiiice version of Alfie on this always very beautiful style. Five Stars! Cinq étoiles! Mes félicitations!

Marcelo, from Brazil.

Your own recording on that song is very very VERY good ! Indeed.

Amitiés.

Christian.

Merci Marie-Alix !

Ca ne te dirait pas de le jouer au violon ?

[flashie78]

Bravo Christian ! C'est une très belle version solo ! J'avoue que j'ai un p'tite préférence pour cette façon dont tu joues... FELICITATIONS !

Bisous de Edith

[harmonicajazzcm]

@flashie78

Merci Edith.

Je suppose que tu préfères parce que j'improvise moins et je suis plutôt dans l'interprétation du thème, non ?

Bisous.

Christian.
