Howard Levy & Chris Siebold at Kuumbwa Jazz Center

About

A virtuoso of the diatonic harmonica, Howard Levy, is also an excellent pianist. An original member of Bela Fleck's Flecktones, he has radically changed the approach to the harmonica, broadening its musical range and winning Grammy awards for his recorded output. His duo partner, master guitarist Chris Siebold, is fluent on a number of fretted string instruments, including mandolin, lap steel guitar, and banjo, with occasional percussion. Together they traverse an incredible range of sonic territory: blues, swing, bebop, flamenco, tango, European folk, and American song-stylings – from Gershwin to Dylan – often sounding like a full ensemble.
