Howard Levy trio

Howard Levy

"…Howard Levy is a revelation; there are times when it is hard to believe he is playing only a harmonica, for he has the expressive range and depth of a saxophonist."
                                                                               --- Geoff Dyer, The London Observer
 
This is jazz harmonia like you have never heard it before! There is no one out there doing what Howard is doing.
 
Levy's reputation as an original artist has been developed over the years through his association with Bela Fleck, Kenny Loggins, Bobby McFerrin, Paul Simon, John Prine, and Paquito D'Rivera amongst many others. He has performed in Europe with the Bavarian State Radio Orchestra in Munich and won a Grammy in 1997.
 
Howard's highly creative approach lends itself to exploring many musical avenues and his exceptional chromatic technique on the diatonic harmonica places him at the top of the jazz food chain.  His trio includes Dane Richeson on drums and Mark Urness on bass.
