Enrico Granafei Appearing @ Foodance Tuesday, March 25th 7PM NYC Harmonica player, Guitarist, vocalist Enrico Granafei has explored many different types of music. Enrico has a degree in classical guitar from the Conservatory of l’Aquila, Italy and a masters degree in jazz performance from the Manhattan School of Music where he was the only student of Toots Thielemans. Enrico discovered the Hands-free chromatic harmonica when he met Vern Smith, the inventor of this innovative device. Since then playing in this solo situation has become his mission. Aware of the fact that this type of coordination was never explored before, Enrico has spent the last couple of decades perfecting this unique and innovative technique. From straight ahead Jazz to bossa nova to funk Enrico does it all making you think that it’s two or 3 people playing. This was never done before. What they say Bucky Pizzarelli, legendary jazz guitarist What Enrico does playing two instruments at the same time is absolutely amazing. Vern Smith, inventor of the Hands-free chromatic harmonica. His technique has risen to levels that I did not even begin to anticipate. La repubblica, Italy The first musician in the world to have played jazz on the harmonica and guitar at the same time. Ted Curson, legendary trumpet player Amazing technique, I have never seen anything like this before. He’s a mothe*****er. Jean Charles Dukhan from TSF jazz, France A true genius Steve Turre, trombonist What Enrico does playing two instruments deserves more recognition. Enrico will appear solo at Foodance, 468 West, 47th street, NYC at 7 pm There will be surprise special guests also from overseas that will make this gig truly special. |
