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/filipjersharmonica Filip's Facebook page: http://facebook.com/filipjersmusic Filip's Instagram page: http://instagram.com/filipjersharmonica Videos:Filip's YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/filipjersmusic Duet with self on Someday My Prince Will Come: https://youtu.be/23pQMP7UNLU Workshop: How to structure practise:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8loZS9fvl4 Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains some of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQ
