[Harp-L] Re: Gregoire Maret

[Richard Hammersley <rhhammersley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I would also like to endorse Gregorie Maret. Not only is he playing  
with some big jazz names, but he has the chops to match. The album I  
found that showcases him  best is:

Andy Milne & Grégoire Maret - Scenarios

Which is on itunes for a start.

There are a few harp players playing really well in traditional jazz  
idioms up to bop, but I haven't heard anyone else who is so strong in  
post-bop jazz, except maybe Chris Michalek on Monk Alters Chi. Anyone  
got any other suggestions? Remember I am looking for top level post- 
bop jazz with harmonica, NOT top level harmonica playing weakish jazz,  
or the players of older styles - there there are Toots, Larry and many  
others.
