Re: [Harp-L] Harmonica within a larger Musical Framework was RE: Summertime



A Galison, Toots, Muerkins, Leighton, Adler, Schackner - those of this level play

in all keys with the understanding attached to the chord changes. These are


SERIOUS musicians who also play harmonica.

Which is a far cry from " In general, chromatic players are more learned in music " Anecdotal accounting with no actual statistical basis makes it easy for anyone to make any point. I include myself in this group with my previous reply. Having just recently rewatched the William Galison with Madeline Peyroux snippets up on you tube I would agree that he's an extraordinary musician.

Personally I worship at the altar of lyricism but I still like the difficult Coltrane recordings. fjm
