Filip can be described as the complete harmonica player, being adept on the diatonic, chromatic and bass harmonicas, as well as being able to play numerous other instruments. He started out on diatonic, with a love of the blues before submerging himself into the overblow style of play pioneered by Howard Levy. Filip is the first harmonica player in the 300 year history of Sweden’s Royal Academy of Music to be accepted to study there. It is here he explored the range of possibilities of the chromatic harmonica as a jazz instrument. Still only 34 years old, Filip already has a great catalogue of albums to his name, with releases focused on jazz, Swedish folk, blues and pop, and fusions between them made to great effect.He loves to teach the harmonica and has just launched a new online resource to share his deep knowledge of both diatonic and chromatic.  Select the Chapter Markers tab above to select different sections of the podcast (website version only).Links:Filip's website: http://www.filipjers.com/Filip's new teaching site: http://www.patreon.com/filipjersharmonicaFilip's Facebook page: http://facebook.com/filipjersmusicFilip's Instagram page: http://instagram.com/filipjersharmonicaVideos:Filip's YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/filipjersmusic Duet with self on Someday My Prince Will Come: https://youtu.be/23pQMP7UNLUWorkshop: How to structure practise:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8loZS9fvl4Podcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations:If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link (or visit the podcast website link above):https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBSpotify Playlist: Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains most of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQPodcast sponsor:This podcast is sponsored by SEYDEL harmonicas - visit the oldest harmonica factory in the world at www.seydel1847.com  or on Facebook or Instagram at SEYDEL HARMONICAS
