That guy is insane good. I'll be checking out more of his stuff.

I was looking for the same kind of stuff a year or two back and came across Yuri Lane using the harmonic and beatboxing at the same time. Not even on the same level as Jason Ricci but for some reason I was always impressed that he could make those noises with his moth while playing the harmonica. All the while keeping those to sounds separate, seems almost impossible to me.

Speaking of harmonica, my ex-wife's grandfather was Don Les. In his later years he was considered the best Marine Band jazz player in the world (as opposed to chromatic). He played bass with the Harmonicats for decades before that, as well as a lot of solo stuff.

Here he is in 1940 (the guy in the middle):

Very cool as well. Don't know why but I've always been intrigued by the harmonica.

The Harmonicats, that's crazy cool. Check out Night Train.
