The man who make video (not me) choose only some parts of jam. Complete track is in audio only. The second Howard's solo is played through my rig.

Very well played. You are very good Boris. I think from what I heard from you in previous time that you have improved a lot, not in technique but in musical "coherence". You sound a lot more musical right now!
Congratulations!! From a latino, I got to tell you that you sound great.
---------- With some latin flavour for you, chico!! :P
CamiloHarper Thanks! I practice different music, and I have a dream to sound proper in any musical context and to avoid playing licks (unfortunately sometimes I still play them). I play for 10 years but my playing three years ago sounds not good for me, you're right. ---------- Excuse my bad English. Click on my photo or my username for my music.

I would have soiled my pants with that group. Not only were you playing with Howard Levy, but Tommy Emmanuel too?!?! It was strange seeing him on drums, but to even be in the same room with those two would make me ecstatic! Nicely done, nicely played, and fantastic for you! (and what a treasure to have it all on video!)
You can see Howard was very impressed with your playing-thats a feat in itself. Howard is not easily impressed. Great job!!! If you were nervous,it did not show in your performance.
You have to listen to the audio clip as it is really really awesome. The video doesn't do the whole tune justice!
Boris - great stuff! I loved it! I so proud for you...I couldn't imagine jamming with my hero like that...no way I would've played anything even close to cool as I'd be way to nervous! ---------- Mike VHT Special 6 Amp for Harp Blog
Boris-that was incredible! Killer playing-and with Mr. Levy admiring every second of it. I like that homey venue too. And Tommy Emmanuel-on drums? Very cool stuff. ----------
Boris: That was some hellacious playing, man. There's a moment early on, around :27, when you really throw down, and Howard turns towards you, smiling. Not that any harp player in the world can really.....PUSH Howard. But the look he gave you seemed to say: OK, I do NOT need to hold back and make nice; this guy can play, and when my turn comes up I'm going to stomp his ass.
In other words, you pushed him. That's something very few people can do. Thanks for posting this video. I'm extremely impressed.

Wow Boris, this rocks! Enjoyed your playing :) . Wish I could believe I could study and practice myself to this level. I got to talk to Howard at SPAH and thought that in itself was amazing. I can only imagine how much this affected your future of playing.

Fantastic performance under extreme pressure Boris, that fast stuff at .38, exceptional playing, and the look on Howard's face. Thanks for sharing that
Many thanks for all comments! I really glad to have such jam in my experience and I'm glad that you like it. ---------- Excuse my bad English. Click on my photo or my username for my music.
now that is pro playing! very few harmonica players could or would share the stage with howard levy; and not only get out alive with your self respect in tact, but earn his respect too. ---------- MP hibachi cook for the yakuza doctor of semiotics superhero emeritus
