[Harp-L] Famous "Harmonica players"

[Sébastien Frémal]

If someone ask me which are good harmonica players, I would give names like
Mariano Massolo, Sebastien Charlier, Jerome Peyrelevade... Because I dig
jazz. I have the feeling that most harmonicists dig blues and only know
blues harmonicsts. I'm wondering if harmonicists know the other good
harmonicists, generally speaking, or only the good blues harmonicists.
