[Harp-L] Charlie Leighton



Sorry to hear of his passing. I became acquainted with Charlie (or Charley, I've seen it written both ways) thanks to Kim Field's book, and the old Farrell's mail order service is where I got a tape of "Yesterdays" which definitely has some great stuff, and of course his terrific tone. I believe this was reissued with extra tracks on CD although I don't own it. Also, Charlie made a contribution to the slim number of Jazz harmonica books with is "Introduction to Jazz" booklet and cassette. Five standards with melody line and a written- out solo chorus, and one side of the tape is just the backing keyboard track. Worth searching out also if it's something you'd be interested in. Sorry, I have no idea where you'd find a copy at this point as I believe this was self-published by the author. Mine is "Volume 1" but I don't think there were any more volumes.
