Re: [Harp-L] Prince - harmonica

[Cljdm@xxxxxxx]

Hi all,
 
I am also surprised that Prince has given a harp player so much license and  
room to play. Some nice solo's too. But my take is, man this is a great stride 
 for the harp's role in today's music scene. Man this is PRIeeeeNCE we are  
talking about. And he is using  a harp player like Muddy did! Whatever the  
reason, it is ALL GOOD for us harp players!
 
That Prince dude can sure funk it up. Has some serious stage presence  too. 
Really impressed me on Leno the past few nights.
 
Best to yas,
 
Chris Mastakas

Prince has added a harmonica player (Fred Yonnet?) to his band.  From what I 
heard the last three nights on the Jay Leno Tonight Show, the  harmonica plays 
almost constantly and, in fact, is the dominant solo  instrument in the mix 
after Prince's guitar.  Yonnet does a good job, but  to my ears, Prince's music 
doesn't really need that much  harmonica.   I'm surprised that's the sound he 
wants.
