It is titled "Howard Levy - Harmonica Jazz". Produced by Tall Thin Records #TTR101, dated 1987. (Sounds like his own company - as you may know Howard is tall, about 6'6" and thin). It is a good quality, CRO2, tape. This was apparently produced prior to his affiliation with Bela Fleck. The price on the tape is $10.00 and it lists the following address for information.. (Note: This tape is 6 yrs old - address may not be current) Howard Levy 8711 Avers Ave. Skokie, IL 60076 Or try Farrell - $10.00 + $1.50 mailing charge (in his May 1992 catalog) F & R Farrell Co. P.O. Box 133 Harrisburg, Ohio 43126 Other artists on the tape are - Bob Gustafson - Piano, Eric Hochberg - Bass & Paul Wertico, Drums. Besides Harmonica, Howard plays Piano, Jew's Harp and Percussion on this album. Side A - You're My Everything (Dixon, Warren, Young) 5:17 Donna Lee (C. Parker) 3:35 Epistrophy (T. Monk) 9:50 Side B - Wise One (J. Coltrane) 7:18 Resolution (J. Coltrane) 6:05 The Beauty Around Us (H. Levy) 4:07 Howard's Blues (H. Levy) 4:00 Total time = 39:32 I like it! - Jack Ely
