[Harp-L] Jason Ricci & New Blood inspire superlatives

[David Fertig <drfertig@xxxxxxxxx>]

All the Blues Harp Greats made a sound of their own.  Jason Ricci & New Blood does, too, and they deserve acclaim as well.  That takes nothing from the other great harp players, whom Jason and the band revere too. 

The bandmates (Jason, Shawn Starski, Todd Edmunds, Ron Sutton) are truly devoted to their efforts together, they love the rigorous and often really problematic touring, because they know they're doing something special.   And it shows. 

 Each member  is a star in his own right, with top creds and solid chops, each could lead a hot band, yet they choose to play with Jason.  'Nuff said.  
 
Jason's harp playing has increasing levels of subtlety, musicality and soul that, with his top-rate technical prowess, in my view put him in the top tier of harp  players.  Past or present.  It's a tier full of greats, and Jason's one of 'em.

See JRNB live!  Heck, go see other players live, too, and do it asap!  Support Live Music!!!
