[Harp-L] The West Coast Jazz Harmonica Summit 2009

["Rob Paparozzi" <Chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the opportunity to view the DVD of the Jazz harp Summit "Slideman 
Slim" Heilpern put together in 2009 in Santa Cruz, CA.

I did a full review in the UK magazine Harmonica World for the NHL which 
will be out next month.
(The following month will be my interview with Pat Bergeson from Nashville.)

I just wanted to thank Slim, this is an A-1 FIRST CLASS PRO Production it 
showcases some of the Finest jazz players on the West Coast! Slim has 
informed me he will have the DVD's for SPAH so bring an xtra $20 and you 
won't be sorry to add this to your DVD collection -worth every penny!

22 Segments and 5 amazing Bonus Tracks all masterfull edited audio & video 
with great care by Slim himself.

I should also mention that this was Slim's Idea and what a terrific one it 
was and should be used as a model for these type of Summits around the 
world. This is a must have for anyone serious about Jazz Harmonica.


Bravo and Congrats to Slim on a job well done an such an asset to the 
Harmonica World and thanx & congrats to all the great players involved for 
their excellent performances!
