West Coast Jazz Harmonica Summit 2009

For most people it is not easy to get to hear top harmonica players, especially when they get together to play. Festivals are one option but there have been a few occasions where making music was the main purpose. One of these was the West Coast Jazz Harmonica Summit organised by Slim Heilpern (Slide Man Slim) in Santa Cruz, California, just before the 2009 SPAH Convention. He pulled together 8 top players from the area and they played a sold-out concert at the Digital Media Factory, which was captured on a superb DVD. You can get more information on the event’s website, and possibly a bargain!
