This is a harmonica instrumental. It's short. It's old style jazz on the little ten-hole. I used my old favorite, the jazfred RS. The changes are quite well known in New Orleans lore.

TuneMonger,

Really old time, bluesy sound you have going on here. And some might fine playing on that harmonica. A good one!

My best regards to you—

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Oooo, you're a bluesy note-bender, too, Bob!! Well done, man. I agree with... well, everyone who hears this. You should play it more in your songs. A good friend of mine plays Charlie Parker songs on a diatonic. Sheesh. This definitely reminds me of some cool smoky-room, ceiling-fan jazz.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hello TuneMonger,

It's really you playing that harmonica? Terrific!
You reminds me of Toots Thielemans, from Belgium.
And I liked that song as well, very relaxed with a nice double bass.

I hope you make more songs with this instrument!

Terrific. We have a friend who plays a fine blues harp and we've learned to
appreciate the different tones.

This is great playing and full rich tone.

Nice band too!

The harmonica draws it away from its jazz roots towards blues - just the tone of it. made me think of the fellow who played during the interval in The Goon Show on radio.
