The harmonica is widely regarded as a very simple music instrument or even as a kid's toy. Yet only few people know about the chromatic harmonica, certainly one of the most complicated of all instruments, and its high musical potential which has been proved by artists such as Larry Adler, Jean Toots Thielemans or Stevie Wonder. Now there is finally a method book available which guides the student in easy steps from a beginner's state to the point where he/she can use the chromatic harmonica as a full-fledged jazz instrument ??? well done, Max!”
