Re: [Harp-L] Ilya Portnov at SPAH

There really are some great young players on diatonic...the Howard Levy school, if you will. I can't say that I like everything about this approach, but as a lover of all things harmonica, it's very exciting to see. Our instrument is in good hands .

He sat in with us (Session Americana) for a song and really tore it up...A recent graduate of New England conservatory and told me he is going to SPAH next week and will be teaching a seminar there. He is a spectacular example of a new generation of harmonica players inspired by the likes of Howard Levy and Jason Ricci. I urge you to seek him out. Jim
