Re: [Harp-L] blues on chromatic - in all keys!

[Slim Heilpern <slim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Serguei -

I guess this might depend on your definition of 'blues', but there are 
certainly many jazz players who play the blues in many keys on a single 
chromatic. Toots has recorded "C to G Jam Blues" on his "Footprints" CD 
-- that's 8 keys on one C chromatic on one tune. When I attended Rob 
Paparozzi's seminar with Hendrik Meurkins and Howard Levy, Hendrik 
played the blues in all twelve keys on a C chromatic and sounded great 
in every key. I can do it too, but not as well as Toots or Hendrik ;-). 
And of course, Howard can do it on a single diatonic.
