Clint Hoover interview
Clint Hoover joins me on episode 109.Clint is originally from Minneapolis and has spent a life immersed in music and the harmonica. He’s reached great heights on both the chromatic and the diatonic. Early on he also studied guitar and saxophone and attended a jazz course in New York City where he also took chromatic lessons from Robert Bonfiglio. His eclectic mix of interests has led him to recording albums in genres from pre-war blues to modern jazz, to rock, pop and World Music. His first recorded album was with a mainstream band called The Fontanas back in 1989, with the album release being delayed for thirty four years, coming out in 2023. In-between he’s released jazz albums, jug band music, rock and more, really showcasing his extraordinary talents on both the diatonic and chromatic harmonicas.Links:Website:https://clinthoover.com/Clint article: ‘My Harmonica Journey’:https://clinthoover.com/a-harmonica-journey/Richard Hunter interview with Clint:https://www.hunterharp.com/hoover1/The Fontanas album: https://blackberrywayrecords.com/album/2566074/the-fontanasVideos:Clint’s YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE7io6uwgGzsOBpanupYdBgLes Thompson performing live:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlLGjO8MzpUGet Up Off That Jazzophone:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23VJPJeakJISister Sadie:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQG1sHJedgYPodcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations:If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link (or visit the podcast website link above):https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBSpotify Playlist: Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains most of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQPodcast sponsors:This podcast is sponsored by SEYDEL harmonicas - visit the oldest harmonica factory in the world at www.seydel1847.com or on Facebook or Instagram at SEYDEL HARMONICAS--------------------------------The Harmonica Company.
