                  Ric, I'll tell ya a little cheater thing you can do, this 
is how I learned what  notes were harmony when I was a kid. If you play guitar 
you can play a bar chord  and the notes within that bar chord are the major 
harmony notes. If you  play keys those three chord positions that you first 
learn have the three notes  in them that make simple harmony. Same goes for minor 
chords and 7th's and so  on. I lud dat funk and a lot of times I play the note 
to make a minor or 7th  even when I'm playing by myself without other horns. 
I learned a lot by playing  harp to Shotgun by Jr Walker and the Allstars. 
Listen to the organ part and pick  out all those notes in the chords the guy is 
playing. Usually any note in the  pentatonic scale will work  Hope that helps.

Like one guy is on the Bb chord another on a 3rd and another on a   
5th. (Like a barbershop quartet.... harmony)

OR, if one horn is  playing straight, the other may be in the same key  
BUT placing fills  and accents into the rests of the first   horn.
