"Jan is the only harmonica-player, who's not trying to play my style"
(Jean 'Toots' Thielemans) Chromatic harmonica and jazz; as one of the few who dared to play the harmonica for their livelyhood, Jan is probably the only one who succeeded in creating his own style on this charateristic instrument.
He is, for instance, the only one who plays octaves on the harmonica. Also in his solo's. Jan Verwey is very much a bebopper and an entirely self-taught one at that. Thanks to a very own developed instrumental technique, he boldy brings about his desired harmony and melody to his solo's.
