Amazinger Grace – FREE MUSIC
Want to hear something extraordinary?
I was at a small conference/seminar sort of thing where Howard Levy was engaged as the in-house musician. He’s a pianist and harmonica player of vast experience. Howard gets a full three octaves — sharps and flats — out of a plain old 20-note harmonica, something no one else does. And it ain’t no stinkin’ parlor trick: he is a remarkably inventive and expressive musician.
So, after he played a three-minute solo version of Amazing Grace on the harmonica, I asked if he’d let us post the recording the conference had made of it, to be distributed free. (It’ll probably end up with a Creative Commons license requiring that attribution to Howard be carried with it.)
So, here it is, an MP3 of Howard Levy playing Amazing Grace (3.7MB), recorded Sept. 12, 2004.
Here is Howard’s home page.
Here’s the recording company where you can buy his remarkable music.
Spread it around!
It’s nice to hear Howard again. Thanx for posting this sound file
wow!!!
Great! Five star rating on my iTunes – and the best that can happen to a conference!

Thanks for the cool musical download. It’s terrific. I’ll mention it in a day or so in my Share the music weblog . Too bad he doesn’t make more mp3’s available, but I guess established musicians don’t perceive it in their best interest. BTW, you didn’t record Mr. Levy on September 12,2004 (or if you did, that would be a cool trip :)
Trick, not trip. Gosh, the fallibility of our species!
Now that is sweet. Be sure to check out the stuff he did on the Prarie Home Companion show (unfortunately it is in RealAudio format) at http://www.prairiehome.org/performances/20030510/index.shtml Well worth the trouble of installing RealAudio for an hour.
i saw levy playing with bela fleck at telluride must be 12 years ago now. he made fleck and the wooten brothers look like amateurs with the fluency of the lines he could play. its not just his technique, which is infalliable, his musical sense is unlike many i’ve heard.
Howard Levy playing Amazing Grace
Ah, ich liebe sowas! David Weinberger: I was at a small conference/seminar sort of thing where Howard Levy was engaged…
I saw and heard Levy playing harmonica at Telluride with Bela Fleck (no relation to Roberta Flack) and Roy (Mr weirdo drum machine) & Victor the amazing bass player at Telluride in 1994. That year, Victor did a solo show in town that was pretty amazing.
Levy also played harmonica in Kenny Loggins’ band. Seeing them in the Redwood (“Shakespeare”) Grove at UCSC was pretty outstanding.
