 The harmonica is certainly
the most common, popular instrument there is...
It is also the most intimate.
Playing the harp is like breathing the music.
Beyond virtuosity, Greg draws out all the
expressiveness of the harmonica using his
original and delicate musical approach.

 A
little wink to Sonny Rollins, this piece
overlaps the blues and jazz. The harp
I use is a diatonic Marine Band
(handmade) in Eb.
The chromatic phrasing is obtained by
bending...
Have fun.

Greg Szlapczynski was
born on January 6th 1971 in Warsaw. He
now lives in Paris.
He has been playing the harp for over 13
years, and has established himself as one
of the most active harmonica players in
France.
Greg plays blues and jazz with a highly
original and personal sound. From
traditional blues to jazz ballads, from
country & western to a be-bop tinted
piece, Greg’s compositions ( CD
" Ternaire Madness " ) are
filled with passion and played with great
intensity.
His harp can be heard on various
recordings as well as in Parisian clubs
where he plays with his sextet ZLAP.Greg
is a consultant for Hohner France and
runs a Harmonica School in Paris with
more than a hundred students every year.
Greg is also the co-author (with J.J.
Milteau & Thierry Crommen), of a new
harmonica handbook published by Paul
Beuscher and Mel Bay.
