Depends on the sax or slide guitar player!
When I was in Manila last year I played with top Filipino tenor sax player  
Tots Tolentino... What a joy! And with my own band back in the 1990's in 
London,  England performing with the sax player, the great Ricardo Guererro, I 
can  honestly say that was some of the best interactive jamming that I have 
ever  experienced, was with that particular saxophonist! 
I find that if me,  a harmonicist, is playing with ANY truly great  
musician, their playing will take MY harp playing up, to the next  level.
Great musicians mostly INSPIRE me.. I love to play with musicians who are  
BETTER than I am. That makes me sound better!
