InfluencesMy main harmonica influences are: Jason Ricci, Howard Levy, John Popper and Richard Hunter.

My favourite soloists are John Coltrane and Chet Baker so different in expression but both equally deep and tragic and genious.

More favourite music at all: Miles Davis, The Thing, Archie Shepp, Charlie Parker, Steve Coleman, Mats Gustaffson, Peter Brotzman, Hazmat Modine, Tom Waits, Sainho, Red Snapper, Arcana, B.L.U.E, Bobby McFerrin, Kruzenshtern i parohod, David Sylvian, Archie Shepp, Cassandra Wilson, Charlie Parker, Erik Truffaz, Free Fall, Medeski Martin And Wood, Wibutee, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lee Oscar, Steve Baker, Sugar Blue, Peter Wettre, Stanton Moore and a lot of others...

I love great groove, great swing, free playing with squeezing and screaming sax (looking for the way to play harmonica like this).

I recommend to buy harmonicas and other harp stuff at coast2coastmusic!

   About Harmonica_Boris
I was born in 1984, July 29, Ekaterinburg, Russia. I start to play harmonica at age of 16. I play both diatonic and chromatic, but prefer diatonic. I customize harmonicas for myself, and use overblow technique and chromatic possibilities of diatonic harmonica. Sometimes I use a lot of stompboxes to allow harp to sound like a guitar or organ or any strange sound

I play with Vitaly Vladimirov jazz big band and his quintet Life-X. Also member of jazz-country-blues-swing band Cross Country and latino-jazz-rock-hip-hop band Vinnebago.

I'm the ex-member of art-hop band Etalobster.

I’m master of biology, postgraduate student now. I want to become all-time professional musician after finishing my Ph.D.



--------------------
Играю на гармонике. Родился и живу в городе Екатеринбурге. Впервые взял в руки инструмент в 2000 году в возрасте 16 лет. Начал заниматься музыкой в арт-рок-трип-хоп группе "Эталобстер"(http://www.lastfm.ru/music/Etalobster) в которой участвовал до конца 2007 года. Играю как на диатонической, так и на хроматической губных гармониках, предпочитая первую. Использую технику овербендинга и хроматические возможности диатонической гармоники. Играю джаз, блюз, рок, и различные экпериментальные направления в музыке. Часто использую электронные эффекты для гармоники.

На сегодняшний день - солист джазового биг-бенда училища им. Чайковского под управлением В.Владимирова (http://vitatrombone.com/), участник джаз-квинтета "Life-X" (Виталий Владимиров - тромбон, Игнат Кравцов - ударные, Денис Галушко - фортепиано) и джаз-рэп группы "Виннебаго". С 2003 года преподаю игру на губной гармонике, кастумизирую и ремонтирую инструменты. Несмотря на активную музыкальную жизнь окончил магистратуру биологического факультета Уральского государственного университета и продолжаю обучение в аспирантуре.

Принимал участие в совместных концертах с американским блюзовым исполнителем Ларри Ховардом, гитаристом Александром Шаньгиным, группами «Блюз докторз» и «Do_Up». Выступал на 6 и 9 1/5, 10 Московских фестивалях губной гармоники. На 3-ем Международном джазовом фестивале "Zaural Jazz - 2008" награжден дипломом "за мастерство и профессионализм".
