Steve Baker Harmonica
Registrace 24. 08. 2007
London born Steve Baker has long been regarded as one of the great harmonica artists, with an impressive reputation as a player, teacher, author and consultant to the Hohner company. His funky, rhythmically accented phrasing, combined with a rich command of timbre and tone, communicates an emotional intensity which is rarely heard on the diatonic harmonica. After a lengthy career as a sideman and a long term musical partnership with the late great Chris Jones, with whom he released four highly regarded CDs, Steve began recording and performing his own songs in 2017 and has now released a total of three albums of original music on Timezone Records. His songs incorporate elements of blues, Americana, funk, rock and even reggae to create an intriguing synthesis of his own. Catchy and vibrant, they combine a melodic pop sensibility with thought-provoking, well-crafted lyrics, delivered with the energy and intensity that has always characterized his work
Steve Baker – Poison Chalice
From the album "Too Much is Never Enough" Timezone Records 2023
A warning about the dangers posed by demagogues and populists of all colors
Lyrics and Music Steve Baker
Video recorded at Monkey Club, Hamburg
Available at Timezone, Amazon and on all streaming platforms
The LiveWires:
Steve Baker - vocals & harmonica
Jeff Walker - bass & harmony vocals
Robert Carl Blank -guitar & harmony vocals
Yogi Jockusch - percussion
I wrote this song because it’s hard to shake off the feeling that many people who wield real political, economic and military power in this world may not always have our best interests at heart, despite their claims to the contrary. All too often they pursue a self serving agenda which uses their position of power to spread false narratives in both conventional and digital media, to further their own ends at our expense, so we all have to drink from their Poison Chalice.

From the new Album "Too Much is Never Enough" -Timezone Records TZ2491 2023 Some people are willing to go to great lengths to pursue their own advantage, and this almost always leads to ill feelings. If you don’t respect others and try to take advantage of what you perceive as their weakness, in the end it doesn’t really get you anwhere, because you’re still going to have to live with yourself....

I recently discovered this ancient video from 1995 of the "Rock Am Meer" event in Bremerhaven, Germany, supporting the Scorpions. I'm sure for all fans of the late and great Chris Jones. this will be a special treat. The stage was set up on a pontoon 100 meters off the coast in the North Sea. 80,000 people came to the event.

The way in which the profession of truck driver is romanticized in country music has always puzzled me. It's a tough life and the reality is anything but romantic. Here's a new version of the song from The Great Divide, performed live at the Bakery in April 2022 with Jeff Walker on upright bass & vocals, and Robert Carl Blank on guitar & vocals.

I learned a lot about how to play the blues harmonica in this kitchen - 20 years ago in a private lesson with Steve. Thank you so much for letting me visit again in this way. And thank you for the wonderful session. Best regards. George
Thanks George! It's a very musical kitchen...
Hi Steve I got one of these the other day, it’s a lovely harp You really feel like your holding a piece of history with it I’ve recently reverted back to the classics and have a new found appreciation for the gems they really are I can bend hole one easier on them than any other harp for some reason
Glad you like it. There are good reasons why the Marine Band is still the benchmark for diatonic harmonicas, the old cliché "often imitated, never equalled" still seems to hold true despite the improvements by numerous manufacturers in recent years. As you say, this is a really nice anniversary model which doesn't just have the vintage vibe but is also great to play.

THAT is my explaination, too. Whistle it down.
Thank you. You have explained very well Steeve
Rubbish. "Adjust your air column to the wavelength of the note."
Do tell me why you think so
@@stevebakerbluesharp Because a wavelength is just the measurement of a wave. A wave is represented as a line that goes up and down, like a peak and a valley, and a wavelength is the distance between one peak to the next. The idea of adjusting your air column to a wavelength to achieve better tone makes no sense.
tried very hard to understand
Nicely explained!
This is Great,Jan from Denmark
