The album this is from originally, is "Larry Adler - Harmonica", released in 1978 by decca's london affiliate. I LOVE this album, & think it was his best ever, along with "Discovery". I saw him in person with the San Antonio symphony. He asked if i played. I told him even my PEN is a chromatic! {Brand of pen}. He looked at it & said "By god you're right! It IS a chromatic!" Then he put it to his lips & hummed, moving it back & forth, pretending to play part of "Summertime". A true artist & gent!

Larry Adler was great. It wasn't just that he effortlessly hit every note, but that the tone he got out of his harmonica was simply, beautiful.
