Over the last 10 years, AJ has experimented with playing chord harmonica for several years under the influence of many great chord players including Tony Sgro, Al Smith, Eddie Gordon, AL Fiore, Harry Halicki (late chord player for the Philharmonica Trio), Manny Smith (late chord player for the Stagg McMann Trio), and Joe Mass Jr (late chord player of the Generation Gap) to create my own style of playing that is both unique, but similar to those before my time. AJ has the unique ability to play both the familiar “modern” layout chord harmonica where C and F are in the middle of the chord, progressing F-C-G; as well as playing the “prewar” or “AL Fiore” layout chord harmonica, where the chords are offset and progressing backwards G-C-F”. AJ also regularly plays all the other styles of harmonicas; the 12 and 16 holed chromatic, the bass harmonica, the Polyphonia, the Harmonetta, as well as some diatonic as well. AJ has been both a state and national-level competitor in FFA, preforming songs such as “Orange Blossom Special”, “William Tell Overture”, “Galloping Comedians”, “Harmonicat’s Boogie” and “Twelfth Street Rag”. His harmonica interests started at the age of 3 or 4 years old, watching his grandfather and grandmother play their harmonicas.
