Re: was jazz jam, top three - NOW : it's an uphill battle

yeah, unfortunatly overblows are a given in this arena unless you
want to get into special tunings are start switching harps.  It's the
nature of the beast.  To play jazz convincingly you have to be able
to hit all of the notes and make the changes.  You don't necessarily
have to be able to play in all twelve keys on once harp but you'll
find that once you get your theory and harmony together everything
else falls into place.
