harmonicaAbout
Called the Jimi Hendrix of the harmonica, Frdric Yonnet brings the humble harmonica front and center, defying expectations and coaxing contemporary jazz, R&B, and a rainbow of genres from this versatile instrument. Hes performed with Stevie Wonder, John Legend, and Erykah Badu; recorded with the Jonas Brothers, toured with Prince and won the respect of audiences everywhere.
When it comes to the harmonica, Frédéric Yonnet knows how to turn skeptics into believers. Yonnet – as part of a wave of that emerged from Europe’s jazz underground – is one of a handful of musicians to successfully demonstrate the harmonica’s versatility as a lead instrument in contemporary jazz, R&B and other genres of music.
