[Harp-L] Stunning "Chicken" from Philip Achille

["Brendan Power" <bren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Philip Achille is a young English jazz and classical chromatic player who
always blows me away with his chops, taste and groove. Check out this live
version of The Chicken:

Philip's seamless switching between octaves and single notes is particularly
cool, and his tasty use of outside notes on the chord changes adds a nice
jazz edge to the funk groove.

Philip is similar to Spain's brilliant Antonio Serrano: chrom players who
started with classical playing and then switched to jazz, using their
high-level chops to create new sounds in a field so long defined by Toots
Thielemans. It's refreshing, and exciting!

 

Thanks to Abe Thomas for making me aware of this vid.
