Phil Caltabellotta is playing chromatic, Tom Scerbo on bass harmonica and I (Shelly Lulov) on chord harmonica. Thanks for the nice comment.

@landztranz Naturally, given that there are a Bass and Chord harmonicas as part of the mix this is a bit slower than if it was played in a jazz setting. I've heard even slower versions of Take Five. Phil can play it much faster (I'm hoping he'll teach me). I've heard amazing versions of it done during SPAH Jazz jams with Phil, Rob Paparozzi, Randy Singer, MadCat (who plays with Chris Brubeck), and other far too many (and ultra-talented) harmonica players to mention. Each with their own 'take' ;)

All right Phil!

[landztranz]

Very impressive; I'm so envious of their skills! However, I must admit that I felt it dragged a bit (I assume through no fault of the lead, who didn't want to play any faster than his buddies). Anyone agree?

Terrific. Any chance you will do Perfidia.
