Roly Platt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCPmh0Zjjy0

He plays razor sharp and focused lines within the blues genre. This video is a "sit in" with a great Canadian blues band...Roly is Carlos del Junco's favorite Canadian harmonica player at this time.

I think "razor sharp and focused" is a pretty good description.

It never hurts to sit in with a band that's that tight. Jordan John seems to be better than the average guitar picker and has quite the voice on him.

I want to learn how to sing like Jordan John. That is some strong, deep, effortless blues singing.

Love what Roly Platt is doing, too.

I've noticed more musicality and less ego in the Canadian musicians than in those from the US.

A really tasty performance by all. Roly Platt can blow some serious harp. Yet another new player to me. Thanks for posting it Iceman.

Roly Platt plays with singer Wayne Buttery on a CD called "Tangled roots" that´s nice in the respect that it treats the blues in a calmer way, not the rocking/shuffle/hard-driving idiom that´s come to be so dominant. Great singing and playing on that one.

I don't give a hoot about 'modern'. I liked that playing a bunch though
