Chris Michalek's CD

[Lenny Henderson <lennyharp@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just got back on with Harp-L after a vacation break.
 I especially wanted to tell everyone about Chris
Michalek's Band and CD.  I have seen Chris and his
bass player Christopher Strone several times in the
last month and last Friday I got a copy of their new
CD.  The CD has 4 players instead of the effective duo
I saw in person.

Chris is a very creative player and so are his band. 
I like especially the variety of music.  With tunes
from Japanese to Mogolian to Blues to Swing and my
favorite "Summertime" in a real Jazz arrangement.  The
music is played with energy and sensetivity to mood. 
I'm IMPRESSED with Chris's recorded efforts, all done
on straight diatonics.  Mine just don't hit all those
notes.  

John Kally was at the last show and played with Chris
on 3 Blues numbers, which is a lot of Blues for Chris.
 It was all a lot of fun and John did great.  Phoenix
may just be comming on for harp players.  August 19th
is the annual Harp Blast at The Rythym Room Where all
the local talent will show.
