I just listened to the snippet of I Got Rhythm. It's definitely in C, 
and it's on a C-harp. That chordal version of the head melody is a 
dead giveaway. Much of what he plays is an outgrowth of the same 
basic movement strategy:

- play a blow note
- play the draw note in the same hole(s)
- continue to play the draw note and press in the slide
- continue to play the draw note and release the slide

Repeat, possibly in another hole. Potentially start at another point 
in the same movement sequence. String a bunch of these together real 
fast for a long run.
