How about
Curtis Salgado /soulful R&B/
Andy Santana (souldriver phase) always knew how to make em dance../ roots R&B
Andy Just knows how to rock...or just check out the Blue Rocket label stuff..Pat Ford has an ear for rockin harp (
Who was the guy who played missionary man.
but I listen to Van Morrison and learn the Horn lines..if you have a good singer...everybody seems to love the songs.
Listen to Pee Wee Ellis or David Fathead Neuman and learn the sax approach.
I have not mastered this by any means but find that if I keep it in the background...it gets away from the "too much harp"syndrome. Is there such a thing?
Funk Harp...would love to hear that...play the Low D and play background Baritone sax parts (background parts/short blasts)
War was pretty funky.
You are gonna be too cool.

My band is moving away from a straight blues format and heading towards a more funk/R&B/classic rock direction (especially expanding out from I-IV-V progressions) and I am looking for harp players who live more in those genres. I come from the Junior Wells/ Big Walter/Little Walter camp.
Any suggestions for players and specific albums?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
