		After "taking" Jerry's Masterclass, I find myself going back to the other material with far greater technical ability and a more thorough understanding of the instrument that grant me fuller access to information I was previously unable to absorb.
		In this Masterclass Portnoy clearly articulates even the most difficult to understand nuances of playing effective harmonica, rendering the material accessible even (especially?) by a beginner.
		Jerry says that once you've taken his class, learning blues licks is a matter of listening and using the skills he has taught you.

		It was time, he felt, to share his mastery of the harmonica—to distill his 30 years of playing and 20 years of private teaching into the most comprehensive, definitive blues harmonica instrumental course available.
		Entitled Jerry Portnoy's Blues Harmonica Masterclass, this beautifully designed three-CD box set and 52-page instruction book offer a thorough course on all aspects of blues harp—from bending notes to triple tonguing, from chord rhythms to tongue flutters.
		Based in the Boston area, Portnoy occasionally tours with the Muddy Waters Tribute Band in addition to his own band and is starting work on a new album as well.

		Jerry's been a great help via his Blues Masterclass CD set.
		I don't need it, cause I'm a pro (taught by Rick Estrin in the late 60's) In fact, I believe you came to his house in the Fillmore district in S.F., while I was taking a lesson.
		Jerry, I teach also, and I reccomend your material to my students.

		Jerry had the dance floor crowded all night, and when I turned around, the rest of the crowd was tapping their feet, wiggling in their seats as well.

		Jerry Portnoy made the harmonica squeak, sing, growl, and cluck like a chicken.

		Jerry Portnoy inhabited the harmonica chair in Muddy Waters' band, replacing Mojo Buford in 1976.
		Jerry Portnoy is every bit the virtuoso and should be honored as such.

	Jerry Portnoy CD Review
		Fascinated by the sounds of the big bands, Jerry's chosen to apply the harmonica to the horn charts of many a classic jazz tune, in the process leaving much of the twelve-bar idiom in the dust.
		Jerry's an expressive player who favours melodic lines over honking; in truth it's easy to forget there aren't many vocals, as he mirrors a singer's lines so effectively.
		For the most part sticking to diatonic harp, he sculpts every note with care, bending, shaping to maximum effect while employing a tonal palette that ranges from bright, breezy metallic to raw distortion with plenty of dirt.

		Review - Jerry Portnoy: Down in the Mood Room
		Jerry Portnoy is probably best known for his work as Muddy Waters' harp player and a driving force behind the band that featured many other Muddy Waters alumni, The Legendary Blues Band.
		Down in the Mood Room, though, is quite a departure from Jerry's blues roots.
