A while back, Dave Barrett, Aki Kumar and Gary Smith collaborated on "It Takes Three." Dave's just put a DVD on the making of the album. Here's his description:
"The two-hour long documentary film featuring the making of the harmonica-centric CD “It Takes Three” is here! You’ll see the creative process of Gary Smith, Aki Kumar, and David Barrett working with the Bay Area’s top blues musicians—rehearsing and recording each of the fifteen songs on the CD at Kid Andersen’s famous Greaseland Studios. If you’re a harmonica player, make sure to purchase the transcriptions set, which shows you how all the fills, solos, and cool harmonica harmonies were played (written in standard and TAB notation)."
I was lucky to be one of the guys filming some of this footage. It was a good time and I learned a lot. This DVD is entertaining and, if you know Dave Barrett, very educational.
This is really Great!!! All great harp players. Anything with Aki these days!!! Dude is always himself and thats what blues music needs more than ANYTHING else right now. Aki Goes to Bollywood was the most important blues album of last year on a few levels... www.mooncat.org
