Howard Levy is a master of the diatonic harmonica, a virtuosic pianist, and a founding member of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. Howard has toured and recorded with everyone from Dolly Parton to Paul Simon…Kurt Elling to Pete Seeger.

“Levy has single-handedly revolutionized the harmonica.” — NPR

At the age of 19, Howard discovered how to play the harmonica as a fully chromatic instrument by developing techniques on it that had never existed before. This enabled Howard to take the harmonica out of its usual role as a Folk and Blues instrument, and into the worlds of Jazz, Classical, Middle Eastern music, and more.

“Levy’s harmonica playing is startlingly fluid and full of the technical prowess.” — All•About•Jazz

As a member of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Howard recorded 4 albums with the band including 2 Grammy-Winning recordings in 1996 and 2011. Howard also won a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition for Life in Eleven.

“As Art Tatum was to the piano, so is Levy to the harmonica: a hyper-virtuoso whose feats can be admired and studied but never really replicated.” — Chicago Tribune
