high-end harp

[Steve Price <sprice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, you harp-lers.  I couldn't help but notice a distinct lack of 
responses to my question of last Saturday.  I must have worded it wrong 
because I'm sure several of you could have helped me out.  So this is my 
question:

When I hear jazz harp players, and someone who verges on jazz play at the 
high end like Sugar Blue, what mode are these people playing in?  I have 
a working knowledge of 1st (straight), 2nd (crossed), and 3rd 
(dorian--thank you) positions, and these jazz harp players I'm lumping 
Sugar Blue in with don't seem to be doing any of these.  Am I mistaken?  
Or if I'm right, what position is it, and how does that translate with, 
say, a C harp.  

I promise I won't give the secret away unless I get a good fat bribe.  

Thanks.
