[Harp-L] Chet Baker Solo on a Diatonic

[randy singer <randy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

wowow, that was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so impressed you took the time to do that. If u ask any pro jazz  
musician, they will tell u that transcribing and performing famous  
jazz solos is one of THE best ways to become a great player.

It is sad that most harmonica players do not take the time to develop  
their ear by using transcriptions, reading music or even using a  
metronome. Robert bonfiglio practically beat me to instill the  
importance of a traditional scholarly approach to the harmonica and  
without it, blues would be my only language.

Jerome, you are to be congratulated. I hope you post more and look  
forward to hearing your original solos.

excellent work ethic!!!!
