Search - William Clarke :: Live in Germany

New from the late great Harmonica master, William Clarke, Live In Germany is a must for all blues harmonica fans. The heir apparent to Chicago's legacy of amplified blues harmonica, William Clarke was the first original new voice on his instrument to come along in quite some time; he became a sensation in blues circles during the late '80s and early '90s, stopped short by an untimely death in 1996. Clarke was a technical virtuoso and master of both the diatonic harp and the more difficult chromatic harp (the signature instrument of both Smith and Little Walter). Where many new harmonica players had become content to cop licks from the Chicago masters, Clarke developed his own style and vocabulary, building on everything he learned and moving beyond it. William Clarke was a multiple WC Handy Award Winner.
