RE: [Harp-L] (Diatonic) Harmonica in Progressive Rock or Jazz Rock?

Check the CD called "Precious Time" by Sebastien Charlier.
A must have !!!
The harmonica has never gone so far !

With the wonderful Alain Caron (remember Uzeb ?) and also Curt Bisqueira,
and many others of same level.

Objet : [Harp-L] (Diatonic) Harmonica in Progressive Rock or Jazz Rock?

Hi,

I love Progressive Rock (Yes, Jethro Tull) and Jazzrock (Weather Report,
piano player Hiromi Uhera, trumpet player Erik Truffaz, guitar player Eivind
Aarset... - check out the latest three if you love music and don't know
them) or something AOR like Kansas, Journey and so on.

All of that is no music style where harmonica is normally used. Are you
aware of (jazz) rock oriented use of the diatonic harmonica [1]? 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).

Best regards
Peter

[1] I tend to disfavor all chromatic harmonica stuff.
