[Harp-L] RE: Cyril Davis and Mick Jagger

["Hellerman, Steven" <shellerman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, Brian Jones played all the harp for the Stones in the early days,
studio and live. First track w/ Mick on harp was Midnight Rambler (Let
it Bleed and Get Yer Ya Ya's) c. 1969, after Brian's passing.

Mick credits Cyril Davis with giving him pointers about using certain
mics, playing through an amp, etc. for improving his blues harp playing.
However, one must not discount the lessons Mick got from Junior Wells
when Junior and Buddy Guy were opening for the Stones back in the day.
One of these impromptu lessons was documented by a series of photos shot
by Dick Waterman in Frankfurt, Germany  in 1970. You can view the series
at Dick's web site.
Also, if memory serves me right, I think it was Brian Jones who first
figured out how to get the bends on the harp, back in the early says
when the Stones were more of a blues band. He was really the "first
harp" in that band.
