While the "jam band" scene is not for everyone, the ability of
many of these bands to produce fresh and exciting new music,
that is different every time they climb on a stage, is a great
antidote to the repetitive plastic trash being churned out by the
major labels. I'd recommend everyone to check out some of these
live shows; you will find bluegrass, blues, jazz, psychedelic, and
lots of fusion and experimental music.

As far as harp: any older Bela Fleck shows have Howard Levy;
Phish have played several shows with Popper, Sugar Blue (and
I think Carlos del Junco also); Ben Ellman from Galactic plays
both sax and harp.
