Jason Ricci's Improvising Recommendations for Blues Harp Students from BluesHarmonica.com

[gilbert20]

One of the most intellectual harp players going! How refreshing to hear his deep thoughts on technique, but even more enjoyable are his views on how harp playing relates to the rest of the world......like the Miles Davis' analogy about rice paper. Just wonderful! Thank you.

this is a few years old... he's missing a few tattoos, if I recall correctly.

@NYoumans Is it just me or does he also look a bit chubby? ^^

old or not. I really dig what Jason is talking about. I got the honor of finally meeting him in person a couple weeks ago and he's a very nice fellow. Sometimes i forget just how knowledgeable he is about music. I didn't talk music with him, figured he gets that way too much. More like how are you doing and so forth.

For you all out there starving for some new clips, search his NAME then sort by DATE and you can see him playing at Gussows latest camp. Have fun, bye -$DR$ and THANKS Jason! uRok

Very nice interview, Ricci is great at putting his musical approach into words, and is a real student of the instrument. It's always a treat to hear him wax philosophical.

I'm also digging this toned-down style of dress and hair, I thought it got a little loud a few years ago!

Outstanding! Not only is Jason an excellent musician using the harmonica as his instrument, but his thought process is fascinating. He expresses his ideas very well. Thanks to Jason, as always, for sharing with us. Thanks also to David Barrett for making this possible. David has some of the best instructional materials (and best instructors) on the planet. I use them when I teach students.
