Harmonica hellions traversing beyond traditional folk and blues realms these days are hardly earth-shattering given the growing ranks of stylists exploring world music genres. Even so, Cuban-born, Canadian-bred Carlos del Junco still manages to pin a fresh spin on his stateside invasion. He’s a pioneer of the “over blow” technique, the ability to play a ten-hole harmonica chromatically, as learned from jazz virtuoso/original Flecktone Howard Levy. Though some selections (“Blues With a Feeling”) technically qualify as blues, others (“Don’t Bring Me Down”) resemble modern incarnations of vintage dance orchestras pumping out jitterbugging gyrations. But where Del Junco shines the brightest is in fusing a conga-crazed Caribbean sensibility (“Let’s Mambo”) that’s like a ’40s tuxedoed Cuban combo led by a swanky harmonicist. Truthfully, that vibe could have been leveraged more but that isn’t to say any of this is disappointing. There’s an antidote for every mood, whether it’s consolation (“Don’t Worry Your Pretty Head”), exhilaration (“No Particular Place”) or meditation (“Don’t Bring Me Down”). Along with a crack band featuring sought after guitarist Kevin Breit (Norah Jones), del Junco and company may be a mangy blues mongrel all right but one without any fleas.
