Re: [Harp-L] RE: Open letter to toots - questions requested from you -TOP TEN WHOLE QUESTIONS

["Alexander Savelyev" <Alexander.Savelyev@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Randy, 

Please consider these questions: 

* * * 
What can you advise in terms of approaching jazz with a chromatic harmonica - where to start and or what to pursue to achieve dexterity and ultimate freedom of improvization.  

Do you customize or have someone customizing your harmonicas in a certain way? Any tricks for better vibrato/bending/bent-vibrato like half cut windsavers, etc.?

What is your best harmonica recording...
(1) technique - handheld mic only or combined with the condenser mic?; 
(2) set-up - types of mics, type of reverb, etc. 
(3) sound engineer/producer.

Subject: Open letter to toots - questions requested from you -TOP TEN WHOLE
QUESTIONS

 

I am always in touch with Toots and I came up with a small but powerful
idea.  He as agreed to answer a few questions from me.

 

This is an idea i had years ago to do a TOP TEN WHOLE QUESTIONS to famous
harmonica players.

 

Before I submit my list to him, I thought I might open it up to the
community. 

 

Here are a few of my questions....if you have a question you would like me
to ask him, please email me (and Harp-L) at the same time.

 

I will compile the best questions and we shall have more insight to the
father of the jazz harmonica, IMO.

 

 

1.	what artist and producer did you never have a chance to record with
that you always wanted to
2.	what type of music project would you have liked to record that you
have not?
3.	how do you record your harmonica in the studio?
4.	tell us something remarkable about Dirk that no one knows

        5. who was your favorite artist you have recorded with?

       6. Which of your many wonderful records is your favorite?

       7 What advice would you give to an aspiring harmonica player?
