Re: [Harp-L] harmonica-piano duos

["Jim Greenwald" <staggerin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

Interesting thread, Winslow. Myself, I'll allow a recording session to 
qualifiy as a partnership, 'cus it's pretty hard to find on-going teams of 
harmonica and piano (either being the vocalist).

Some of the most memorable in the area of music that I'm familiar with are:
Lee Brown with Rhythm Willie (guitar & bass present, but not so's you'd 
notice) 1939
Peetie Wheatstraw with Rhythm Willie 1941
Peetie Wheatstraw with Robert Lee McCoy 1941
Curtis Jones with Jazz Gillum 1940
Walter Davis with Robert Lee McCoy
Speckled Red with Sonny Boy Williamson and Robert Lee McCoy 1939

In modern times Little Anthony Geraci & Sugar Ray Norcia made a wonderful 
recording in 1994 called "Take It From Me" that's just fabulous.
Probably lot's more I'm not remembering right now, and many I've never 
heard, but like Winslow, would love to know about.

Cheers,
Staggerin' Jim
