[Harp-L] Mitch Kashmar Live CD..................

["Gregg Stone" <greggstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I couldn't disagree more!

I have had this CD for a few months and to my ears, it is by far the best blues harp CD I have purchased in the last year.  I have listened to it many hundreds of times and Mitch's playing is from the gut and from the heart.  I would have loved to have seen the performance.  MItch was on fire that night and his first position playing gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.  II think MItch's mastery of the upper register is phenomenal.  The songs flow well and his harp playing is tasteful and his phrasing inspired.  It is a great recording and if MItch ever gets within 200 miles of Dallas with his blues band...........I'm there!

This CD is worth every penny !

On the recommendations of this list, I got a hold of a copy of this  CD.
 
It's a good live recording. Mitch sings well and plays diatonic/chromatic  
pretty competently.
 
However, after one listening, I may not reach for it again - 
 
So many competent players out there that sound just as good.
