Re: [Harp-L] miles/Kind of blue

["Bill" <bill.eborn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jerome
I downloaded Sebastion's recordings that he did with Nico Espinesse about 
18-2 years ago and i've got his his album Diatonic Revelation, he is an 
incredible player.   I think what I really notice about his playing is the 
way he creates what I think as a jazz tone, ultra clean, bright but rounded 
if you know what I mean.  Just listening to his introduction to the 
photgrapher's lament - Someday My Prints Will Come as we speak!

Nice one!

Bill
