Description

"The harmonica is one of the most important, yet overlooked, instruments in music. This definitive volume celebrates the history of the world's most popular musical device and delves into every music genre that has felt its impact: folk, country, blues, rock, jazz, and classical artists are all featured. Nearly seventy harmonica masters are profiled. The author traces the development of the harmonica from the ancient Chinese sheng to futuristic harmonica synthesizers. This updated edition includes an extensive new afterword, an expanded discography of the finest harmonica recordings, and a listing of the best harmonica resources on the Internet."--BOOK JACKET.
