      No list of jazz/blues organ players is complete without Jimmy
McGriff.Check out his "Greatest Hits" on Bluenote. Harp players can learn a lot
about playing background from organists, and harp can work as well with organ as
with any other instrument if you pay attention to where you are on the harp and
play in a complimentary register.They are called "mouth organs"
right?                                           Jeff
