David Naiditch
David Naiditch plays bluegrass, Gypsy jazz, and swing on the chromatic harmonica. Some of the music featured on these YouTube videos are live, but most are from his last 5 CDs--David Naiditch Plays Bluegrass and Swing Instrumentals, Bluegrass that Swings, Bluegrass in the Backwoods, Douce Ambiance: Gypsy Jazz Classics, and Bluegrass Harmonica.
David now exclusively uses the chromatic harmonica. When played well, the chromatic harmonica can produce a sweet, fiddle-like sound and handle fast, intricate melodies. Since David uses a C chromatic to play in all keys, he can deal with tricky chord changes and key transitions without having to quickly switch harmonicas. Since the chromatic provides all the notes without having to bend or over-blow, the timbre of each note isn’t dictated by the instrument, but is controlled by the player. David believes that keeping the same tone and timbre throughout a tune is often desirable in bluegrass, swing, and Gypsy jazz.
