  1. Rhapsody in Blue just sounds so natural on Harmonica. The only thing that would make this more impressive is if he wasn’t playing a Chromatic Harp. Still an amazing job!

  2. Após deliciar nossos ouvidos com esta magnífica execução, não há como não se acreditar nas muitas vidas da alma. Somente a eternidade poderia justificar o talento burilado por muitas e muitas existências…Lindo, maravilhoso, sublime!

  3. This performance increases my sense of humanity in a time in which many assholes work to dehumanize the world.
    A young and brilliant chinese harmonica player playing a great american music, composed by the son of jewish russians who immigrated to United Sates.
    That’s an example of how creativity and talent unite races, people and culture.
    This performance might be collected in the Saint Éxupéry’s conception of “Terre Des Hommes”.

  4. I’ve been a Blues player since ’69 and I couldn’t come close to this young man. Absolutely beautiful. If he doesn’t know Toots Theilmann he should try to meet him. They would have much in common.

  5. To play this Gershwin masterpiece with a harmonica at that age is just amazing. This child is gifted..it is just unbelievable. Amazing…really amazing..

  6. Dude,
    This interpretation is just unbelivable. I am a musician, pianist, and I didn’t even know that this song could be played in harmonica!!

    And you play it very clean and beautiful, kid.
    Congratulations!!

  7. Oh my goodness!!!! I honestly never have heard a harmonica solo accompanied by a piano before. That was fantastic!
