Amazing
Sublime

Nice shot!
Is just me or Ben Wendell sounds like a contemporary Coleman Hawkins??
what is that guitar?
Very cool. Now try it in St. John's the Divine Cathedral in NYC. David Hykes Harmonic Choir recorded in there. I think the delay may be even longer.
Select jazz mouthpiece?🤔
Dos monstruos del jazz.
This is so beautiful, where can i find more of it?
The sound of the studio it's amazing, very close to what it sounds live at the Vanguard!
Just pure 🔥 Didn’t know you could produce semi-tones with an harmonica, which maybe shows I know nothing about the instrument. I can tell he’s going beast mode though!!
chromatic harmonicas can play all 12 tones
@@safejas makes sense. Goes to show how much I know about harmonicas 😅
Very cool
wow

Aleeeeeeeeee Obed
Great playing guys! Yes, this is a solo on "After You've Gone", but is it a transcription of somebody's solo? Or did Ben write this one, and is a transcription available anywhere?
