Re: [Harp-L] Jazz on diatonic harmonica

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

 Finally, someone who is content to work the lower 2/3rds of a diatonic, using all the notes created through bending techniques as notes - fearlessly - and a minimum of OB's - and plays lines - not fast patterns - also paying strict attention to the melody. Also, playing into the "air" - no amplified effects/sounds. His playing I find to be truly egoless, letting the music tell the story. Also, he shows a good deal of attention paid to playing the changes and understanding improv at a sophisticated level.

Yes...

also found this guy on you tube, doing an interesting work :
