Thanks for posting this one! Really fine playing, all! 



This video jam is an opportunity to hear how the harp (or any instrument) 
may dictate/define/limit one's note choices. Some moves are just easier to 
get to than others. And we acquire them in increasing degrees of difficulty. 



My favorite moments here, came from Lee and Gussow. Their phrasing seemed 
un-hampered by the layout of the diatonic; where music was the goal, and 
harp was merely the tool of delivery. 



I hear it, but I don't play this way yet. Wish I did. Working toward it. 



Can anyone ID the Low octave harp (Alex?) 


Stay well 
Play well
