[Harp-L] re: this estrin cat



i dont think you can compare rick to jason its like apples and oranges. rick is well schooled in chicago blues with strong delta harp roots( sonnyboy1 and sonny boy2 little walter etc. with his band rick estrin and the nightcats he is playing way more traditional blues then he was when the band was little charlie and the nightcats when charlie was in the band. i think kid anderson on guitar is perfect for a blusier style, which is closer to ricks expression. never underestimate estrin he is a bad mofu on the harp period! unlike many of his california jump style collegues estrin doesnt rely on overarranged blues to get over . he can play strait from the heart and not play the same thing twice and its all blues . for my money estrin and steve guyger are the best blues harp players out there today. you should check out estrin's new harp teaching video. he doesnt tell you what to play but he teaches stuff that he learned over forty years about blues harp playing
