[Harp-L] Charlie Leighton

[John Kally <jkally3@xxxxxxx>]

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.
