[Harp-L] Turk vs. Toots...winner, Turk!

[<jaguire@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

of course toots is God, i can't argue that, but.........

song just popped up on the iPod connected to the boston acoustic tower 
speakers....i can hear it from the sun-drenched  patio at the cocktail 
hour...says to myself, "self, the tone , phrasing, pureness of tone, 
sureness of tone, strength of tone, minute masterful artistic inflections, 
technical mastery of the chromatic harmonica as a dominating jazz 
instrument, although i am not sure the name of that song, it has got to be 
toots thielmans (or some other chrom-dude, i have 18,000 songs on my iTunes) 
...get up, go inside, look at iPod.....Mike Turk, 'how long has this been 
going on", from turks works cd,.....i still say mike turk is a better jazz 
player than toots for my dollar, at least as far as that recording goes. 
one sweet cut.   anybody have a video of the show at chris michalek's 
harmonica summit in minneapolis where toots and howard levy have a cutting 
contest diatonic vs. chromatic???  i would very very much like to purchase a 
dvd copy....please r.s.v.p. on or offlist.

have a great summery weekend y'all,
