Re: [Harp-L] Pascal Veillette - harp clips

[Larry Haston <lhaston@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ran across these clips after a Google search for Pascal Veillette a 
few weeks ago.  I was very impressed by his sound on the Kamendja cd. 
The  Asa Nisi Masa cd is equally impressive.  Who would have thought a 
guitar, harp, sousaphone and Indian percussion would produce such a 
mesmerizing sound. There are two numbers on that cd that have been stuck 
in my head since I first heard them,  Kindred Spirits and In A Single 
Breath.   Pierre, I'm jealous that you have access to Pascal as even an 
occasional teacher.  I put him in the upper echelon of modern diatonic 
players.  I used to consider myself a blues harp purist but it's 
muscians like Pascal Veillette who have opened doors to vastly different 
worlds.
