Curtis is a terrific harp player and a great singer, and that was a great performance.  In my opinion, Curtis is playing even better now than he did then, a modern master for sure.  I think he sticks pretty close to the west coast most of the time; anybody who gets the chance to see him should take it.

The show Kim Wilson did that night was one of the best harp performances I have ever seen.

Thanks for sharing this.  Anybody know where the rest of those performances from SPAH 1998 can be found?

Regards, Richard Hunter
