Go ahead and play the blues if it'll make you happy.

Very nice 3rd position work !!
Full dominant bend on draw 3 is a cool note to work, in't it?
Next step here would be to make your (very good) fast runs fit in better with the song. Now they are a bit "squeezed" in there.
Thnx for posting

Thank you very much for your comments!
I love my little shaker. I actually had two, makes a richer sound. The fast runs are squeezed in. And I filmed the video in several smaller portions so I didn't have to practice everything first. So it's kind of an experiment version. It was hard to find the right chord progessions. I don't think I got it completely right although it feels quite good when I play it. I googled here and there and different versions all the time. Donald Byrd's version that Charlie Musselwhite seem to follow has four rounds with the trumpet and the turnarounds in round 1 and 3 seem to have another chord progression than the turnarounds in round 2 and 4?

I've been searching for a definitive Cristo Rendentor chord chart or lead sheet for years without much success.
Your version sounds good; would you mind posting the chords you used?

My favorite Charlie tune, and possibly my favorite blues number of all time. I like what you did here Hawk. Very nice.
On another note however, I'd like to get in touch with Charlie and get definitive confirmation as to whether the title to his version is "Christo Redentor" or "Christo Redemptor".

The original written by Duke Pearson was "Christo Redentor."
Charlie's is "Christo Redemptor"

I don't think the original had an 'H'. The famous statue doesn't.

You are correct Nacoran.... I think I just typed it the same way twice without paying attention to the correct spelling of the first)

I only knew because I looked it up in response to Hawkeye's comment before about Charlie's version.
Spellchecker has made me what I am today... fussy and pedantic. :)

timeistight:
I found the chords for the vamp and the 12 bar turnaround I used at Harp-L. See message below.
But I couldn't find any chords for the other turnaround, so I desperately tried different finger settings at the keyboards last sunday when I made this video. I don't remember how they were. I can't really play the keyboards. When I found this at Harp-L I googled for finger settings for these chords so I could put my fingers exactly according to the pictures.

The vamp that makes up the A section of the piece is in a dorian mode; the
changes are Im7-IV7 (Cm7 to F7 as Charlie plays it, in 3rd position on a Bb
harp).
The 2-bar turnaround that marks the end of each chorus is a different story:
Cm7 Eb7 / Ab7 G7 /
These changes definitely take the piece out of a dorian mode. However, as a
practical matter, the same harp in 3rd position works very well against these
chords--probably because the sequence is short, and it very strongly pushes the
harmony back towards C minor.
This piece is also killer on a chromatic harp, of course. What ballad isn't?

I forgot to mention:
This song is in C (with a Bb harp in third pos). But I used an A harp so I changed the key to B. And of course were the chords above changed according to that.

Thanks, Hakan.
Has anyone ever had any success playing this at a jam? If so, any tips to share?
