"headTitle": "Pocket-Sized Revolution: Behind the Harmonica’s World-Music Takeover | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>Most nights, you can walk into a blues club and find a harmonica player blowing their heart out onstage. The wailing, honking sound associated with Western movies and juke joints is what many harp players have emulated for decades. But in the rarefied world of the harmonica, the earth has lately shifted on its axis — primarily because of one man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard Levy is a 64-year-old harmonica virtuoso. When I met him he was sitting in the living room of his bungalow in Evanston, Ill., playing his two favorite instruments in unison: a Steinway grand piano, and a harmonica so small that it nearly disappeared in his big hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levy has single-handedly revolutionized the harmonica by thinking of it, essentially, like a pocket piano. He’s mastered a maddeningly difficult technique called “overblowing,” in which he squeezes the air flow over the brass reeds to bend each note, and in that way he creates complete 12-tone scales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the places on the instrument where the notes were missing, I discovered if I did that same technique, the notes would pop out, as if by magic,” Levy says says. “And it freaked me out, I have to tell you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://www.npr.org/player/embed/460860955/461095921\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The instrument was never designed to play like this. The modern harmonica was popularized in 1857 by an extravagantly-whiskered German clockmaker named Matthias Hohner. Hohner made \u003cem>diatonic\u003c/em> harmonicas — tuned to play major and minor chords when you inhale and exhale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you wanted to play advanced music with chord changes, you had to pick up a \u003cem>chromatic\u003c/em> harmonica: the sophisticated, uptown cousin of the diatonic. It’s bigger and heavier, and with the aid of a spring-loaded slide, it can play all of the sharps and flats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musicians consider the chromatic “a serious” instrument. Larry Adler played Beethoven on it. Toots Theilemans played John Coltrane on it. But then, along came Howard Levy, playing complex pieces on a four-inch-long instrument. It had never been done before\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levy still remembers visiting the Hohner factory in Germany to show them what overblowing could do: “I was not met with a tremendous amount of friendship by some of the people who were in charge of manufacturing. They said, ‘Why don’t you just play the chromatic? Why are you doing this?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere in the music world, Levy has found more support. He played his \u003cem>Concerto for Diatonic Harmonica and Orchestra\u003c/em> with the Czech National Symphony. And over the last 40 years, he has taught his technique to hundreds of other harp players around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmL4RM7IA7A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s beyond influential,” says Adam Gussow, an English professor at the University of Mississippi, accomplished harp player and editor of the website Modern Blues Harmonica. “It’s like an epoch. You know, there’s the before and after Howard, in terms of the diatonic harmonica.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levy’s reach is such that prestigious American music conservatories nowadays have begun accepting students whose instrument is a pocket harmonica. One of them is Thorleif Davidsson, a 24-year-old harmonica player from Reykjavik, Iceland, who has a full in the brass department at the Berklee College of Music. When he arrived in Boston, he says, everyone was skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah, I kinda always have to prove myself,” Davidsson says. “The diatonic harmonica doesn’t have the greatest reputation. People always know someone that plays the harmonica, and usually not that good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the opposite coast in San Francisco, there’s a 26-year-old Russian harp player named Ilya Portnov who recently graduated from the New England Conservatory. “I was the only harmonica student,” he says, “and some of the teachers were surprised how serious I am about the instrument. That was funny to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Zealand-born harmonica wizard Brendan Power, meanwhile, plays the European festival circuit, and makes specialty harmonicas at his workshop in Canterbury, England, with all sorts of imaginative tunings. Like Howard Levy, he took the humble 10-holer and re-imagined it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The harmonica — there’s an amazing amount of potential in there if you do get in there and change things around, get different sounds and play different styles with more authenticity,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adam Gussow says the instrument’s footprint keeps getting bigger. Untethered from the rawboned tradition of American blues and cowboy songs, the harmonica now stands at the center of a world-music explosion: “You know, it’s a time of great ferment. Every day I turn around and I see something else done on the harmonica that I didn’t expect to see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matthias Hohner would not have believed his ears. \u003c/p>\n\n",

The wailing, honking sound associated with Western movies and juke joints is what many harp players have emulated for decades. But in the rarefied world of the harmonica, the earth has lately shifted on its axis — primarily because of one man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard Levy is a 64-year-old harmonica virtuoso. When I met him he was sitting in the living room of his bungalow in Evanston, Ill., playing his two favorite instruments in unison: a Steinway grand piano, and a harmonica so small that it nearly disappeared in his big hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levy has single-handedly revolutionized the harmonica by thinking of it, essentially, like a pocket piano. He’s mastered a maddeningly difficult technique called “overblowing,” in which he squeezes the air flow over the brass reeds to bend each note, and in that way he creates complete 12-tone scales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the places on the instrument where the notes were missing, I discovered if I did that same technique, the notes would pop out, as if by magic,” Levy says says. “And it freaked me out, I have to tell you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://www.npr.org/player/embed/460860955/461095921\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The instrument was never designed to play like this. The modern harmonica was popularized in 1857 by an extravagantly-whiskered German clockmaker named Matthias Hohner. Hohner made \u003cem>diatonic\u003c/em> harmonicas — tuned to play major and minor chords when you inhale and exhale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you wanted to play advanced music with chord changes, you had to pick up a \u003cem>chromatic\u003c/em> harmonica: the sophisticated, uptown cousin of the diatonic. It’s bigger and heavier, and with the aid of a spring-loaded slide, it can play all of the sharps and flats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musicians consider the chromatic “a serious” instrument. Larry Adler played Beethoven on it. Toots Theilemans played John Coltrane on it. But then, along came Howard Levy, playing complex pieces on a four-inch-long instrument. It had never been done before\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levy still remembers visiting the Hohner factory in Germany to show them what overblowing could do: “I was not met with a tremendous amount of friendship by some of the people who were in charge of manufacturing. They said, ‘Why don’t you just play the chromatic? Why are you doing this?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere in the music world, Levy has found more support. He played his \u003cem>Concerto for Diatonic Harmonica and Orchestra\u003c/em> with the Czech National Symphony. And over the last 40 years, he has taught his technique to hundreds of other harp players around the world.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/fmL4RM7IA7A'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/fmL4RM7IA7A'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“He’s beyond influential,” says Adam Gussow, an English professor at the University of Mississippi, accomplished harp player and editor of the website Modern Blues Harmonica. “It’s like an epoch. You know, there’s the before and after Howard, in terms of the diatonic harmonica.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levy’s reach is such that prestigious American music conservatories nowadays have begun accepting students whose instrument is a pocket harmonica. One of them is Thorleif Davidsson, a 24-year-old harmonica player from Reykjavik, Iceland, who has a full in the brass department at the Berklee College of Music. When he arrived in Boston, he says, everyone was skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah, I kinda always have to prove myself,” Davidsson says. “The diatonic harmonica doesn’t have the greatest reputation. People always know someone that plays the harmonica, and usually not that good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the opposite coast in San Francisco, there’s a 26-year-old Russian harp player named Ilya Portnov who recently graduated from the New England Conservatory. “I was the only harmonica student,” he says, “and some of the teachers were surprised how serious I am about the instrument. That was funny to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Zealand-born harmonica wizard Brendan Power, meanwhile, plays the European festival circuit, and makes specialty harmonicas at his workshop in Canterbury, England, with all sorts of imaginative tunings. Like Howard Levy, he took the humble 10-holer and re-imagined it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The harmonica — there’s an amazing amount of potential in there if you do get in there and change things around, get different sounds and play different styles with more authenticity,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adam Gussow says the instrument’s footprint keeps getting bigger. Untethered from the rawboned tradition of American blues and cowboy songs, the harmonica now stands at the center of a world-music explosion: “You know, it’s a time of great ferment. Every day I turn around and I see something else done on the harmonica that I didn’t expect to see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matthias Hohner would not have believed his ears. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

At first, though, he was only able to say three words: no, go, and a swear word. Thoughts would form clearly in his mind but come out as some other variation of language. For the second time in his life, Drew had to learn to speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today Drew's communicating with near-fluency. One thing that has helped him do that is song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drew is a member of a choir called the Aphasia Tones, based at California State University, East Bay, in Hayward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aphasia is a language impairment caused by brain injury, not an intellectual disability. The majority of people who have aphasia acquire it through stroke, but it can also be caused by other serious brain injuries, like car accidents or military combat. The disorder interrupts all aspects of communication, not just speaking, but reading, writing and listening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 2 million people in the U.S. have it, making it more common than Parkinson's Disease, but less well-known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All 25 members of the Aphasia Tones have the disorder. The choir began in 2011 and is part of a larger aphasia treatment program at the university. Program director Ellen Bernstein-Ellis says choirs for people with aphasia are catching on globally, too.

He makes his way up to the piano, an instrument he’s been playing for 84 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been playing ragtime since about 1950,” he says. “I’m 91.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s been a founding member of local rag clubs since 1967. For him, the music is transcendent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It takes me back in time,” Mitchell offers. “It takes me into kind of an enchanted world. Certainly a more innocent time, I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The style was born in the not-so-innocent African-American red-light district of St. Louis in the 1890s. When jazz took over in the late teens, ragtime began to fade. But it refused to die. In 1974, the music re-entered the culture -- and topped the easy-listening charts as the soundtrack to the Oscar-winning film \"The Sting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while most of the Rose Leafers are easily old enough to have seen the film in theaters, there are three guys in the room who missed it by a long shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan Wishner, 18, hunkers down at the piano and launches into a strident, rollicking tune he penned himself, “The Indestructible Rag,” inspired by an ad he saw for Indestructible phonograph records from the early 1900s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how does an 18-year-old get into this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10795707\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10795707 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins.jpg\" alt=\"Rose Leaf Ragtime Club members Vincent Johnson, Edward Maraga and Ryan Wishner (L-R).\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1324\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-400x276.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-800x552.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-768x530.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-1440x993.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-1180x814.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-960x662.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rose Leaf Ragtime Club members Vincent Johnson, Edward Maraga and Ryan Wishner (L-R). \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“One night I heard my mom playing ‘The Entertainer,’ ” he explains. “This was about eight years ago, and I asked her to show me what notes to play and it turned into this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edward Maraga, who’s 23, started playing the music of Joy Division and other ‘80s post-punk bands before discovering ragtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think not too many people our age play this type of music,” states Maraga. “It’s just rare. I listen to heavy metal every day, so I’m the oddball.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vincent Johnson, also 23, sits down for another tune. He’s been coming to the club, where the trio met, for a decade. He’s playing one of the 80-some compositions he’s written since he was 14, “Milk and Honey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like it’s my primary way of relating to America as a country because often times, culturally and politically, I feel at odds and it’s hard for me to say, you know, America!” explains Johnson. “But when I play this music I feel it’s very, very American.

He’s drawing pen-and-ink images of vintage locomotives, cars and street scenes that fit perfectly with the music that fills the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Between the drawing and listening to the music, you just forget about the bills you have to pay and your job and all the day-to-day things you have to deal with,” says Hartmann. “It’s nice to kind of forget about that for a while.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what’s the future of this music that has somehow managed to hold on for a century of ups and downs? Doug Haise ought to know. His day job has been performing ragtime at retirement communities and other venues since 1987.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At any given ragtime event, there are fewer people and the ones that remain are generally old. But that’s fine with us because they love the music, we love to play it, so we’ll just keep going,” Haise says. “So if it ends up there’s no audience except ourselves, we’ll be playing it for each other, I guess.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the very least, there’ll be an audience at Wang’s Place next month.\u003c/p>\n\n",

For him, the music is transcendent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It takes me back in time,” Mitchell offers. “It takes me into kind of an enchanted world. Certainly a more innocent time, I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The style was born in the not-so-innocent African-American red-light district of St. Louis in the 1890s. When jazz took over in the late teens, ragtime began to fade. But it refused to die. In 1974, the music re-entered the culture -- and topped the easy-listening charts as the soundtrack to the Oscar-winning film \"The Sting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while most of the Rose Leafers are easily old enough to have seen the film in theaters, there are three guys in the room who missed it by a long shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan Wishner, 18, hunkers down at the piano and launches into a strident, rollicking tune he penned himself, “The Indestructible Rag,” inspired by an ad he saw for Indestructible phonograph records from the early 1900s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how does an 18-year-old get into this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10795707\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10795707 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins.jpg\" alt=\"Rose Leaf Ragtime Club members Vincent Johnson, Edward Maraga and Ryan Wishner (L-R).\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1324\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-400x276.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-800x552.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-768x530.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-1440x993.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-1180x814.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/WangsYoungins-960x662.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rose Leaf Ragtime Club members Vincent Johnson, Edward Maraga and Ryan Wishner (L-R). \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“One night I heard my mom playing ‘The Entertainer,’ ” he explains. “This was about eight years ago, and I asked her to show me what notes to play and it turned into this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edward Maraga, who’s 23, started playing the music of Joy Division and other ‘80s post-punk bands before discovering ragtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think not too many people our age play this type of music,” states Maraga. “It’s just rare. I listen to heavy metal every day, so I’m the oddball.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vincent Johnson, also 23, sits down for another tune. He’s been coming to the club, where the trio met, for a decade. He’s playing one of the 80-some compositions he’s written since he was 14, “Milk and Honey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like it’s my primary way of relating to America as a country because often times, culturally and politically, I feel at odds and it’s hard for me to say, you know, America!” explains Johnson. “But when I play this music I feel it’s very, very American.
