Reading the posts about "Sweet Georgia Brown", a couple of words caught my
eye..."Dixieland Jazz". This is definitely my favorite type of jazz, but
I've never heard of harmonica being used with the style. Can anyone
recommend some players and albums? It seems like a natural matchup of
instrument to music now that I think about it, since Dixieland already uses
so many wah-like hand/mute effects that sound quite similar to harmonica
effects. And the horns seem intended to sound like human voices, which the
harmonica also excels at (in some cases, at least). Wow, I'm getting
excited just thinking about the possibilities now.
