Looks like a good exercise. Useful to learn how to transpose on the spot? Does playing the same solo in 12 keys help with improvising? I'm not sure. I wonder what software he uses to switch the keys. Is this an ambersole exercise?

He is a french guy on a forum I visit from time to time; as he says the idea of this exercise came from scratch after he has transposed the original song.
Amazingly, he says that it was hard for the first three keys, but the next nine were much easier to perform.
He doesn't talk about the software, but I suppose he could use Audacity, that does the job correctly, and make a unique set with the 12 sequences.

If you look at the custom harp (Brodur) you'll see that the signature is from Seb Charlier: he allegedly could be the french Howard Levy...

That's something I'd like to be able to do one day, take tunes I like & transpose them for harmonica.

@bonedog

Don't forget it's french made, and not for a very long time (2 years I think).
Maybe by trying "Brodur youtube"?

really nice! excellent!

as an aside, Chet Baker did not read music. odd for a jazz man. Herbie Hancock once said,"i realized the genius of Chet Baker..." in an interview when asked about West Coast jazz.
