Re: [Harp-L] Joe Messina

[Slim Heilpern <slim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Suave -

I have 2 jazz harmonica CDs that Joe made in the 90's, may have even gotten them from Bass Harp, I don't remember:

Messina Madness

&

Messina & Friends

I don't know how to contact Joe, but...

Both CDs were released on the Semper Records label, and mention www.semperrecords.com, which takes you to this site:

Randy Leipnik produced the CDs and they are mentioned under Randy's bio on the 'audio' page of the site. You could try contacting Randy here: contact@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, perhaps they still have copies to sell....

The CDs are good -- Messina is a monster talent.  As I remember, they are both straight ahead jazz albums.
