Do You like Harp/Harmonica ?
Dear Friends,
My name is Albert Maksimov.
I am chromatic harmonica player from Ukraine.
I am a chairman of the Ukraine Harmonica Assotiation and director/conductor of the harmonica course at Kiev Harmonica Club. Classical music, jazz, blues. Composer.
In 2006 I recordered first Harmonica CD in the history of Ukraine.This CD named "Not Only Jazz".
I`d like do some Poll about your opinion.
Thank you very much!
Yours,
Albert Maksimov My Music http://www.myspace.com/notonlyjazzyahoocom

I voted YES.
I normally take the pro-harmonica side whenever the issue is presented in a referendum vote.

Yes, I like the Harp/Harmonica very much in the right hands.
In fact, I used to play with a fine blues harpist in Anchorage, Gary Sloan. I'd rate him right up there with some of his venerable heroes, many of whom he's shared the stage with over the years.

I heard Gregoire Maret play a superb solo on "Maiden Voyage" with Herbie Hancock last night (the first time they shared a bandstand). Marcus Miller was on bass, and Poogie Bell on drums.

The only CD I have with Gregoire Maret on it is Charlie Hunter's "Right Now Move."
Would like more.

There's a new CD by Maret and Andy Milne that looks good.
I don't remember who plays on Scot Colley's new CD, but I thought their playing was great.

Then there was this victim of McCarthyist blacklisting:
I'm sure his harmonica playing was full of secret messages that would have undermined the wholesome god-fearin' America we all know and love.

Let's not forget the highly distinctive style of Stevie Wonder.

What, no Carey Bell? 'Good Luck Man' is a killer album. He learned from some of the masters and became one himself. I was all set to see him in a couple weeks in NY state, but he died at the beginning of May. Check him out.
