Nice stuff, thanks for posting, Bob! That first part reminds me of Duke Ellington's "C Jam Blues".

Right in the middle there's a flowing sax solo. You'd think the sax would upstage the harp, no?

The sax solo has many more notes, but it doesn't seem to convey the melancholy that the harp has. I'm not a big fan of wha-wha effects and such, but the harp here seems to have a lot more lifting power - the tension is brought up way higher with the harp than with the sax by a mile!

Great stuff! Thanks!
