Jason Ricci at the Baker Blues Fest 09

[@harpmatt100]

Hi The Song is in the Key of B and Jason uses a Harp in E (2. Position). He also uses Overblows, so it´s not easy to play. One of the best living Harp players at all, Wow !

[@KiwiGuy-mi3pf]

Thanks bro.

[@quinoacat]

He is not of this earth. He was sent here to teach earthlings to play the Harmonica with more soul. Bless You Jason for the wonderful feelings you share with that tiny instrument.

[@urbanghosttoronto]

anyone who criticizes this example of harp playing is simply jealous or ignorant. Great technique mixed with emotion = the real deal.

[@KiwiGuy-mi3pf]

I'll say brother, this is one of the greatest harp songs ever. First time I saw this vid I was frozen in Harmonica bliss! . Jason's interpretation is unique and amazing.

[@abdullalhazred3365]

Jealous as hell. But I wouldnt dare criticise it.

[@bluewildangel13]

No problem...I agree...Jason and the lads are quite something to behold...Definitely a show worth catching every time!!! Thanks for checking out my video!

[@pamalacrabtree1727]

@jasonricci Absolutely amazing talent. Such a harmonica legend.

[@APaclin]

a pleasure for human ears...

[@chrishump1]

So amazing Great talent ! Thx 4 posting

[@bluewildangel13]

Thanks a bunch for checkin' out my videos. I heard Jason last year at Baker for the first time and made sure to get lots of pics and video this year! I too, loved Amazing Grace at the end...What a treat!

[@Opuskrokus]

No virtuosity, just emotion. Fantastic!

[@benjy51]

one of the greats!!!

[@bluewildangel13]

This event does take place annually in Mt Baker, Washington USA. You can find more info at baker blues dot com

[@bluewildangel13]

This year I wore a pair of blue jean shorts and I had a really bright neon-colored lanyard holding my VIP pass. Last year I was in camo shorts and a tank top. I have long, wavy brown hair. Both years I had my camera pointed at the stage 90% of the time!

[@voodoo7953]

beautiful .. jason Ricci thank you.

[@mitchgawlik1175]

I used to think of Jason Ricci as nothing more than a hot dog along the lines of John Popper. I guess I wanted my white harp players to sound like Paul Butterfield and Charlie Musselwhite. Man, I was wrong. This is one talented musician not limited to just the blues. Get past that and you may be able to appreciate his music. I believe he feels what he plays.

[@ER-me1ii]

Damn bro, it’s like you got in my head and wrote my thoughts.

[@Madamnesia]

incredibilmente bravo

[@davidwaters9890]

Wow that was really super good harmonica playing, that one reached all the way home? Heart felt with me, alright bro rad!!

[@cschramm1]

Beautifully Awesome,incredable! Rock on Jason!(aka SC)..-CS

[@bhaskarchoudhury5260]

Different version.... Altogether different.... Mesmerizing.

[@WallCollapse]

That is just awesome.

[@LouieLouieLouie]

love this vid

[@MrDidjcripey]

Jason is amazing; acoustic, amplified, second position, first position; doesn't matter.

[@BunaCar]

Best interpetation ever!!!

[@roccobaldassarre9165]

Grandissimo Jason I love you❤

[@ethomfactusest]

wonderful!

[@DyuroTv]

Perfect !

[@ER-me1ii]

I put Jason in the Howard Levy category. Like savant level, ridiculously knowledgeable meets god given talent. I’m not saying anything about who’s best etc etc. that’s an individual taste thing. I’m talking other worldly gifts.

[@neil89581]

what a melody!

[@jamielinda1]

pure emotion cheers

[@MarcoMina_SKATEBOARDINGchannel]

Grande Jason !

[@bluewildangel13]

I'm sorry...I don't really remember seeing you...It seemed like almost everyone had on tie-dye shirts :)

[@bugaluga85]

que coisa mais linda!!!!!!!!

[@dan32113]

modern blues harmonica? oh you mean Adam Gussow, a man who is an expert in blues Harmonica, yeah he has also written great books on the Blues! white blues kids? oh you mean like Peter green from the 60"s, the white English kid who"s tone was so good BB King said it made him sweat! Blues is an attitude/feeling.

[@CynthsImMondschein]

I fuckin love this man

Mucho talento para una sola persona, que impresionante

[@jesusfreakgodfreak]

yup

[@Berni8144]

Es purissima crema 💪 this is the best freestyle of the fucking world

[@javaboomerang]

My like, keren abizzzzzzzzz

[@JasonPMartin]

Anyone know what key that harp is. My C sounds nothing like that!

[@crazycowify]

is there a perticular time of year that this event takes place? I am assuming its annual .

[@guitrotta]

Hei Jason, what key you play this song?

[@srrlIdl]

You're acting like african-americans somehow invented the harmonica, only to play their music from that time. Which wasn't the case at all. You don't like Ricci, no one cares. please stop making hate-comments, it makes you look like a 13 year old who has nothing better to do.

[@salm37]

Well I am sitting here I don't know you from hell and your great!

[@kharimmm]

I´m straight but, plase take me jajajajja , simply awesome playing, technique, everething

[@howardcoleman4748]

that sounds like leo oscar

[@srrlIdl]

What authority do you have to call people 'bluesless'? Just because you don't like modern blues harmonica means nothing. You just have a different definition of what blues is, that's just too bad. Ask a guy like Rick Estrin what he thinks about Ricci, and he'll say he loves him! You don't have the right to decide 'this is blues, this isn't', so chill. And next time you make claims about 3 year olds who are better then Ricci, show some evidence first.

[@LackadaisicalE]

Adam Gussow is not the subject of my critiscism in this thread. I dont know why you mentioned him. And that you mentioned Peter Green in the same sentence and in relation to socalled 'modern blues harmonica' is just mindbaffling and absurde. Oh and your youtube invention, the socalled 'modern blues harmonica' has neither attitude nor feeling, in fact that is the main point of my critiscism besides the ignorant absurde statements about these 'ok' players being legendary and world class masters.
