Heretical Classical by Ansel Barnum

It might be heresy to play refined classical on this folk instrument, but I love the music too much to resist. Forgive my musical sins!

Ansel plays a common instrument with uncommon finesse. Breaking with conventions and constraints, he makes the humble folk harmonica reach an expressive depth beyond its familiar style. His melodic versatility and vivid tone give this child's "toy" a mature, compelling voice that he has taken across diverse musical borders to show how underestimated the little (and belittled) instrument really is.
