[Harp-L] Re: scary fast harmonica - uhhhh



I have little interest in most videos of some You Tube virtuoso playing fast unaccompanied harmonica that is touted as being some sort of great or technically brilliant performance. With a few exceptions, I am usually unable to imagine what the rest of the band could possibly be doing while a harp player was playing a solo in such a self indulgent and self absorbed manner. Not hard to show off when you are only playing with yourself. So what? Put most of that stuff in to an ensemble context and it would sound like shit. And IMHO most of it doesn't sound very musical even in a solo context.
