Re: [Harp-L] Sad News Cham-Ber Huang -- Chamber's Records
I took Cham-Ber Huang’s harmonica seminar in the Grand Tetons in the 1970s. We had great fun and even did river rafting together. This seminar focused on the chromatic, an instrument I didn’t take up until about 30 years later. Nevertheless, Cham-ber taught me some very important techniques, such as how to generate throat vibrato.
After the seminar, I purchased 2 records:
A Breath-Taking Performance
Cham-Ber Huang and Mogens Ellegaard
Insignia Records, 1964
and
Two Virtuosi
Cham-Ber Huang and Mogens Ellegaard
Insignia Records, 1964
I wish these long out-of-print recordings would be re-released because there is some wonderful music. (Mogens Ellegaard is a virtuoso accordion player.)
I found a sample tune, a Romanian Folk Dance at:

Cham-Ber later recorded other records that I don't own:
Music That Touches the Heart
Cham-Ber Huang and Madame Zhou Guang-Ren (1997)
and
Cham-Ber Huang with New York Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra
Raffael Adler, conductor
Larry Adler guest artist, 1969
Cham-Ber will be dearly missed.
