Artist: Leo Diamond
LP: Hi-Fi Harmonica
Song: "Hindustan"
[ listen ]
Not to be confused with the first diamond ever certified to be visibly brighter, the harmonica-playing Leo Diamond worked with Borrah Minnevitch's Harmonica Rascals before starting his own trio known as The Solidaires. Diamond dazzled audiences with appearances in several Hollywood movies before launching a sparkling solo career, through which he championed the harmonica as a diverse and exciting instrument worthy of accompanying an orchestra.
