Have you ever come upon a sense of musical preposterousness - frown furrowed nearly into nose (or alternatively mouth going so lax that you jolt back into awareness due to drool slopping down lips) – yes a question so meticulous has very little questioning value, it is in proper sense me telling you of my experience in a circumlocutory manner … still still, it happened and Howard Levy caused it. I saw him playing a harmonica with a contrapuntal approach (think of archaic piano – Bach sort of stuff – single bass notes hopping around as harmony rather than chords whilst the right hand aflickers upon the high end). You … can do that on a harmonica!!?
I feel this sort of amazement with Carnival of Souls. Not from its technical aspect, but its ability to … well it's a musical fireplace, ready for cozying up to, smile ablazing. So here you go....
(Oh and the aside to Howard Levy is applicable, he's the harmonica player here, along with Eugene Friesen on cello and Glen Velez percussion.)
