Check out one of the late greats
Jakez François is a French Harpist I just discovered. But don't expect from him much classical scales or wise lyrical standards... He plays jazz/blues with his instrument, and man, he plays it freaking good!!
Watch him here on a soulful version of Georgia on my Mind...
Whatever the instrument, if you have technique you can do a lot, but if you got soul, you can do... anything... and do it so right!
Enjoy,

Just restored a couple of instruments.
I think, they turned out pretty well.
One of them is a Deagan 594, once owned by Mike Mainieri. When we got it in, it was painted white.
We did the following:
- cleaned the bars
- replaced the terrible casters by new, bigger, and better ones
- removed the experimental midi-electronics (didn't work anymore, impossible to repair)
- filled up the space in the endblocks where the midi was placed.
- coated the keybed
- powdercoated the supporting frame and the coverplates for the rails in black
So, this was the scene. The old Hershey Hotel in downtown Philly. Milt Jackson was playing there with his quartet (Bob Cranshaw on electric bass, Mike LeDonne on piano and Mickey Roker playing drums.) There were two sets, and I had a ticket for the first one. I got there early to see if I could get to talk to Milt Jackson a bit. Turns out their sound man never showed up for the gig. I am an amatuer audio engineer, so I volunteered... it was perfect. I got to sit right next to him while he was playing and I got to stay for the second show for free.
Great camera shot of gary playing.
Check out how locked in the time he is and how clean all his phrases are.
Check out Milt's solo. It's so laid back, beautiful and swinging!
Do words exist for this?... At least I found one: peace... :o)
Check out this cat towards the end. I posted Glen Verez a minute ago and then found this.
Oh my god, this cat is so bad it's not even funny!!!!
