本课程旨在教授你如何演奏口琴的“Fox Chase”律动，一种能够让你如同老一辈音乐家那样演奏节奏口琴，并紧跟现代音乐潮流的技巧。 “Fox Chase”律动学习起来颇具挑战，特别是它对“3 吹”（3 blow）音的使用方式，这种方式可能与你通常的演奏习惯不同。但掌握它能让你在保持律动的同时，轻松自如地呼吸，从而获得持久的演奏能力。课程会重点讲解如何通过舌头的微小移动（仅几毫米）来实现演奏的高效性，以及“split 4 the blow”这个咬吹技巧。 此外，课程还会展示一个作者录制的曲目，该曲目以“Fox Chase”律动为基础进行即兴演奏。作者认为，了解并掌握这种演奏风格对每个口琴演奏者都至关重要。 课程中还将提及口琴大师 Deford Bailey，他是作者最喜欢的“Fox Chase”演奏者之一，甚至提及了 Sonny Terry。Deford Bailey 的生平简介被引用，他作为口琴演奏的先驱，于1925年9月首次出现在广播节目中，并在1926年开始有正式记录的演出。他的标志性曲目“Pan American Blues”于1927年首次在 WSM 播出的“Barn Dance”节目中亮相，这一节目后来发展成为著名的“Grand Ole Opry”。“Pan American Blues”也是第一首被录制下来的口琴蓝调独奏曲。 Bailey 在1927年至1928年间发行了多张口琴独奏唱片，甚至在纳什维尔进行了首次录音。他的作品《John Henry》因其独特的艺术定位，被 RCA 分别以“race”和“hillbilly”系列发行。除了口琴，Bailey 还擅长吉他、骨头和班卓琴。 作为 WSM Grand Ole Opry 的早期成员和受欢迎的表演者，Bailey 从1927年到1941年期间多次登上该节目，并与 Uncle Dave Macon、Bill Monroe 和 Roy Acuff 等乡村音乐巨星同台演出。然而，由于当时的种族隔离政策（Jim Crow laws），他在旅行中面临着食物和住宿上的困难。1941年，由于BMI和ASCAP之间的版权纠纷，影响了他演奏热门曲目，导致他被 WSM 解雇，职业生涯也随之结束。此后，他主要以经营洗车行和出租房间为生，尽管仍坚持演奏口琴，但几乎不再公开演出。直到1974年，他才在 Opry 迁址的特别活动中罕见露面，这次演出也促成了 Opry 每年举办的“Old Timers' Shows”。Bailey 在1974年75岁生日及之后偶尔在 Opry 演出，并于1982年7月2日在纳什维尔去世，安葬于 Greenwood Cemetery。 本课程的学习目标是让你掌握“Fox Chase”口琴律动，并鼓励你借鉴像 Deford Bailey 这样的先驱演奏家的风格，将这种经典律动融入到你自己的音乐实践中。
Learn to play rhythm harmonica like the old guys did and use it like the young guys do.This fox chase rhythm is tricky to learn as it uses the 3 blow in a way that you probably don't think about but it allows you to breathe and sustain the groove for ever. The tongue is used to move - just a couple of millimetres - to give you great economy of movement.We will also use the split 4 embouchure so I'll show you how it works.I'll show you a track I recorded a while back that uses this fox chase as a basis for improvising.I think every harmonica player should know about this style of playing.Deford Bailey is my favourite Fox Chase guy - or maybe Sonny Terry.Here's Bailey's wiki - his first radio appearance was apparently in September 1925[2][13] on Fred Exum's WDAD, a Nashville station that only lasted from 1925 until sometime in 1927.[14] His first documented appearances, however, were in 1926 according to The Nashville Tennessean including WDAD on January 14[15] and WSM on June 19.[16] On December 10, 1927, he debuted his trademark song, "Pan American Blues" (named for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad's Pan-American), on a program then known as the WSM Barn Dance. At that time Barn Dance aired after NBC's classical music show, the Music Appreciation Hour. While introducing Bailey, WSM station manager and announcer George D. Hay exclaimed on-air, "For the past hour, we have been listening to music largely from Grand Opera, but from now on, we will present ‘The Grand Ole Opry.'"[2] "Pan American Blues" was the first recording of a harmonica blues solo.[17]Several records by Bailey were issued in 1927 and 1928, all of them harmonica solos. In 1927 he recorded for Brunswick Records in New York City,[18][19] In 1928 he made the first recordings in Nashville,[6] eight sides[1] for RCA Victor,[18][19] three of which were issued on the Victor, Bluebird, and RCA labels. Emblematic of the ambiguity of Bailey's position as a recording artist is the fact that his arguably greatest recording, "John Henry", was released by RCA separately in both its "race" series and its "hillbilly" series.[20] In addition to his well-known harmonica, Bailey also played the guitar, bones, and banjo.[2][3]Bailey was a pioneer member of the WSM Grand Ole Opry and one of its most popular performers, appearing on the program from 1927 to 1941.[21] During this period he toured with major country stars, including Uncle Dave Macon, Bill Monroe, and Roy Acuff.[22] Like other black stars of his day traveling in the Southern United States and Western United States, he faced difficulties in finding food and accommodations because of discriminatory Jim Crow laws.[23]Bailey was fired by WSM in 1941 because of a licensing conflict between BMI and ASCAP, which prevented him from playing his best-known tunes on the radio.[24] When he was let go from the Opry, that effectively ended his performance and recording career. Bailey then spent the rest of his life running his own shoeshine stand and renting out rooms in his home to make a living.[6][25] Though he continued to play the harmonica, he almost never performed publicly.[6] One of his rare performances occurred in 1974, when he agreed to appear on the Opry. This was a special event to mark the Opry leaving the Ryman Auditorium for the Grand Ole Opry House.[26][6] This performance became the impetus for the Opry's annual Old Timers' Shows.[2]Afterwards Bailey continued to occasionally perform at the Opry. He played there on his 75th birthday in December 1974, at the Old Timers Shows,[27] and also in April 1982. A few months later that year, in June, he was taken to Nashville's Baptist Hospital in failing health. Bailey died on July 2, 1982, at his daughter's home in Nashville,[6][1][28] and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery there.[4]
