[Harp-L] Subject re: Michel Herblin "Voice"/was Damien Masterson/ Chromatics

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

I wrote about Chromatics recently and mentioned Michel Herblin's  "Voice" as 
being one of my favorite and most beautiful pieces of  harmonica (presumably 
chromatic) music from a compilation album  I have  (Inspiration - 22 Great 
Harmonica Performances selected  by J.J. Milteau). 
 
 Much to my chagrin, I've since found out that Michel plays  strictly Golden 
Melodies! and that oh-so-gorgeous chromatic performance of  his seems to be a 
rather common mistake others have made as well.  I  have Steve Merola to thank 
for his graciously cluing me in  to Michel's harp of choice, style of playing 
and background (thanks,  Steve).  At least one of Michel's CD's is now on my 
"must-buy"  list....
 
I'd highly recommend the entire Inspiration CD, though.....from  Michel to 
Toots to Stevie (Evets Rednow), Charlie McCoy, Larry Adler(with  Django 
Reinhardt), Deford Bailey, Little Walter, James Cotton(with  Muddy Waters), Borrah 
Minevitch group, Thierry Crommen, Phil John &  Pip Murphy, Greg Szlapczynski, 
Olivier Ker Ourio, Jimmie Riddle (with  Roy Acuff), Sonny Boy Williamson, Hugo  
Diaz, Big Walter Horton, Mark  Graham, Eric Chafer, Robert Lee McCoy (with Lee 
Brown), Magic Dick &  Sonny Terry....you know this is a "something else" kind 
of  album. 
 
 If anyone would like an actual list of the tracks, I'd be happy  to post 
it...but it's easy enough to view at CD Universe where  I got it for the best 
price...as well as listen to snippets (though  the one from Voice doesn't do the 
full song justice).
