Here's a real treat, The San Francisco Harmonica Ensemble: Damien Masterson, Steve Malerbi, Winslow Yerxa, and Michael Peloquin doing their ensemble thing at the 2009 West Coast Jazz Harmonica Summit last August. They did four of their own arrangements that evening, and all four tunes were really cool and covered a lot of stylistic ground. I've just posted their final tune of the evening, Stevie Wonder's "I Wish", to YouTube here:

I also just posted one of the set-openers by the fabulous trio that backed everyone up that evening, here they do that wonderful Irving Berlin standard, "How Deep Is The Ocean" (no harmonica content, but these guys are great!):

As usual, there's more info on all these posts on my jazz harmonica blog: www.SlideManSlim.com/blog

And more info about all the players here: www.JazzHarmonicaSummit.com

With today's uploads, I've now posted one clip from each artist's set at the summit, you can see them all on my YouTube channel:

Now I need to get to work putting together the DVD, which will have even more of these fun and unique performances. It will all sound and look a lot better on DVD too....
