Hi Chris, I am starting Autumn Leaves this week with my mentor..yours is one of the great interpretations of of all time, smooth and simply amazing, I am 67 yo and when I get to be 77 I want to sound like that at least 50%! Bravo to the King. via the coast of Maine
Chris, this is a great rendition of this great classic !! Your improve was awesome and the upright Bass on this track was great. I play both harp and upright so you can see my appreciation for this beautiful song !! - FLOYD
Wonderful and played Beautifully, and a Joy to watch. I'm not much of a jazz-fan to be honest with You, but I really like this video and song, I'm very impressed!! It's Great to see You are really getting into the groove when playing, Very Pleasant indeed Thank You!
Fantastic , Very Soothing...Keep up the great inspiring work. Love the song and also the way you played it .Beyond words to express.Just one has to feel. God Bless you
Hello Chris, Our congratulations with your first video !! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful live performance with us, you have choosen such a wonderful song, your playing is just magnificent and your Seydel chromatic sounds just wonderful, your harmonica has a wonderful deep sound, our compliments to you for this great work !! Have a very nice week. Dearest greetings from Chris and Mayka - The Netherlands - Europe - UA-cam chrismayka.
Really nice Chris. A wonderful song. By the way - saw someone in a post refer to you as Mope - geez - that seems like a thousand years ago. :o) Forwarded this video to Vinnie.
Really impressive, really enjoyed the improvisation and I've played it a lot of times myself, but I'm not improvising much at all. I can feel all the theorical work you've done in the years before, and since you can play the instrument, you simply apply your previous work on this harmonica, and here's the result. Personally I'm lacking the needed theorical work, and I don't practise much also. both don't help in improving my playing :-) Thank you for the very good video, I'm playing it once more
@@chrisbauermusic Do you find the Seydel Orchestra has a different tone than the Seydel Symphony 48? Besides the the range just the tone. Im thinking to add one to my collection
mambojazz1 Not really. They are the same, just tuned differently so you can get those lower notes. Since Seydel doesn’t have a 14 hole harmonica, the Orchestra tuning range gets around that for those notes...at the expense of the higher notes.
Hello Chris, I have listened to this more than 100 times and still love it. I try to play this myself but I can't find the sheet music and the background track. Do you know where I can buy/download the sheet music and background track for this? Thanks
nolan halsted Hi Nolan! Thanks! It's a Hal Leonard backing track from one of the Miles Davis backings track CDs. It comes with music, but it's in the standard key that most fake books have it in
Chris I stumbled across your videos and am just amazed at how much emotion you pull out of that harmonica. How did you pick it up? Any advice or tips you can give to people trying to learn?
Sean Delaney Hi Sean. That's a great question. I don’t think it was something I necessarily learned. I think it comes from listening to other musicians and trying to emulate their style. I listen to alot of singers and try to incorporate their stylings into my music. Hope that helps.
very nice video! if you could recommend a harmonica between the saxony and the seydel deluxe steel, which would you recommend between the two? thank you
I have a good deal of experience with both. It depends what you like - the deluxe steel is lighter - acrylic comb - and the tone seems to be a little brighter/harsher than the Saxony. Saxony has a cast aluminum comb so it's a heavier and that may contribute to the more mellow, full sound it seems to have. At least with the ones I have, the Saxony seems to play easier and smoother too. I generally play the Saxony, the Steel is a backup. There is a difference in price of about $50 more for the Saxony, but if you're spending that much on a harmonica that probably doesn't make much difference. My "#1" is Saxony Orchestra - 12 holes but drops to G below C on the lower end, chops off the end of the third octave, which I never play anyhow. I would also recommend looking into bebop tuning - that needs to be done by a pro - substitute Bb for C on holes 4 and 8 etc - makes everything much easier and more logical. All the chroms I play are bebop tuned.
Mislim da Hohner 12/48 Super chromonika ima dosta prijatnini zvuk.Drvo je ipak drvo i daje meksi i prirodniji i puniji ton.Nikako da naprave usnu da ima zvuk slican pravoj harmonici.Zato mi kod nekih melodija tremolo zvuci lepse.Ali to je samo moj utisak jer vise volim kada sviraci sviraju viseglasno.
hey nice playing! I'm tackling the chromatic right now. I'm trying to learn a bunch of applicable scales in all the keys. Question, I'm finding that certain keys are just awkward as hell and others seem to flow easier. Do you play different key chromatics to approach other keys better, or do you just stick with C like a master/purist haha! Anyway, I really like your playing open to any advice to a new guy. Thanks!
S2_COOL Welcome to playing a chromatic! :-). Yes, there are some keys that are very awkward, typically the sharp keys like A, E, B. I don’t use chromatics in different keys usually. I use an E chromatic to play Zorba the Greek (in E). I’ve also used a Bb chromatic to play things in B. Other than that, I stick to C chromatics. Thanks for stopping by!
Chris Bauer thanks that really helps and makes tons of sense. One other random question. I learned on a diatonic and do this tongue block technique to play, I block the hole in front and play out of the side of my mouth if that makes sense. It makes it so you can do cool blues tricks and stuff. On the chromatic do you find there is a better technique? Thanks again!
@@s2_cool756 Yeah, that's another harmonica battle. I use pucker on single notes. I always found the tongue block method for chromatic to be a little cumbersome. Obviously I have to tongue block for octaves, etc. But for single notes, I pucker.

Dude, you chilled it..and killed it!😍
Thanks!! One of my favorite tunes!
为什么可以这么好听😍
Sehr schön.
Magnifica
Matteo Pasetti Thank you sir!
That would be great if I know the key and all tabs of this excellent perform
Loved it, Chris! Tnx!
Two questions (so far...): 1) Are you a pucker player or a tongue blocker? 2) Why didn't you play the intro?

Awesome. I just started playing the chromatic. Where exactly can I find the backing track you used?
Thanks
I want to be like you when I grow up! Is that an RE-20? I recorded my first CD in 1978 on that mic! Hard to beat. You sound great as usual.
Kosma himself would be proud to see this
I tried "Like" this one twice, but alas, no. (Corrected back to Like). Excellent rendition of a timeless essential tune.
What would I like to hear????? anything you record. You are awesome men, but if i I may ask something from perry como
Chris I stumbled across your videos and am just amazed at how much emotion you pull out of that harmonica. How did you pick it up? Any advice or tips you can give to people trying to learn?

Very beautiful! What's the key of the harmonica?
Thanks! It’s a C chromatic.
very nice video! if you could recommend a harmonica between the saxony and the seydel deluxe steel, which would you recommend between the two? thank you
Aaron Sazon hi aaron! i would say the saxony or saxony orchestra over the deluxe steel. the saxony and the orchestra are fine harmonicas
thank you very much for your reply. im really enjoying your playing and your videos are really helping me choose. much appreciated!

@@vectortemple so does a saxony have two notes be,low c in lower octave upto G like a 14 hole suzuki scx 14 hole harmonica ?
@jobdav it a chromatic harp; it doesnt have a key
Maravilha..
Thanks so much!!
Hi,can you tell me who is the best mic for chromatik recording? thank you
Mislim da Hohner 12/48 Super chromonika ima dosta prijatnini zvuk.Drvo je ipak drvo i daje meksi i prirodniji i puniji ton.Nikako da naprave usnu da ima zvuk slican pravoj harmonici.Zato mi kod nekih melodija tremolo zvuci lepse.Ali to je samo moj utisak jer vise volim kada sviraci sviraju viseglasno.
