Are you playing a special tuned diatonic?

Harmonica is a bit buried in the mix - hard to hear.

Tempo/beat is difficult for me to feel, as the accompaniment is a bit nebulous. Maybe that's just me, though.

For what its worth

I like the harp

I cant say the same for the arrangement

The pace is kinda draggy and the busy bassline and video game keyboard fight for the same frequency space as the harp ,
Kinda reminds me of a Euro Showtime after dark soundtrack

Lorenzo (Ice Ice Baby), don't you have a Summertime offering that you haul out of your quiver from time to time?

In case your demurely waiting for someone to ask you for it, I'll bite.

Thanks for asking, but it has been posted here 2 or 3 times already. You can search youtube using "Iceman Seamless Overblow" and pull it up yourself.

Let's keep this thread focused on Thollon's version.

I thought the mix was fine, and it's all well played. I don't care for the arrangement either. Can't tap my foot to it, keyboard tone gets grating. Just too "jazz" for me. But I commend you - technically it is very good and I don't doubt there's an audience for it.

He's a very good player the arrangement is a bit sparse. When it comes to Gershwin on the harmonica Larry Adler is the guy. After all he was a friend of Gershwin.

Thollon, you have excellent control of your 3 hole inhale second bend and make it sound like a "given" note rather than one created through bending technique.

Nice harp, but like Greg said, the keyboard tone was annoying. I think I like the bass part too, but the keyboard is stepping on it so much I can't tell if it's working with the harp.
