How to Play Naima on Harmonica

This is John Coltrane's "Naima", a very hard jazz standard arranged for the harmonica in Db. Expect a slow, melancholic melody that will challenge your breath control and bending techniques on a diatonic harmonica. This piece is for advanced players looking for a deep musical experience.
