I took that Klingenthal three harp boogie, video, with permission, and
lightened it, also sharped it, it was really out of focus, since the camera
could not focus without light. Not the clearest visual, but you can see who
everybody is now and get an idea of what they are doing.
It's a pretty good lesson for newbies about how these multi-harp things
work, everybody has a role and they pretty much stick to it. Bouman is
laying down the foundation that "Doc" Bertram plays lead on and most of
the time Herbie is complimenting Bertram's lead and there are a few times
where Bertram is complimenting Herbie, obviously, he shifts into
compliment mode during Herbie's vocals. Ben's Low A is pretty obvious, but
since Herbie and bertram are playing the same harp, 1847s in A, I had to
isolate phrasing and use body language during certain parts as a Rosetta
stone to identify who went with what phrasing.
It's a good piece to pick out parts on and listen to them individually to
see how three harmonica players should work as a team, there's a good
lesson in Bouman's playing... I mean, if I were Ben Bouman, I'd probably
be strutting around like a fightin' rooster, but he keeps it simple and
does his job, laying down a foundation for Herb and Bertram to shine on.
There is an "I" in "Trio," but you have to forget about it.
