[Mike Wilbur <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter look into JJ Milteau, Michel Herblin, and of course Rock Blues... Pat Ramsey
Of course there are many other equally talented Harp played that drifted from the Blues.

Some of Jason Riccis recordings with New Blood are not really jazz, but IMO great rock recordings. I'd like to hear about more in this direction or something not necessarily blues oriented or influenced (but could be, I also love the Nighthawks or Abi Wallenstein / Blues Culture for example).
