Neither Brendan Power nor Dennis Gruenling are people I would drop in the
category of "nerd-focused technical musicians". Power is a session player
who plays appropriate music to the tune - or he wouldn't get the gigs he
gets, with popular musicians. Gruenling plays a form of music that has
popular appeal outside the harp community, and which is indeed looked down
upon by "technical-focused nerd hobbyists".
Not really familiar with Gazell so he may be an appropriate choice on your
part.
Just because you "really, really like" a musician, doesn't mean they're a
genius. It just means you "really, really like" them. Chris Michalek has
some serious chops, but chops can be found aplenty in the harp nerd
community. In that regard, I'm with JD - music is about music for me, not
about facility.
