David Barrett, Gary Smith & Aki Kumar - It Takes Three

Gary, David and Aki take the blues around the world and through the wide range of human emotions. Their tones are so rich, sometimes you think their adding horns or wood winds. Throw in Kid Andersen's guitar and mixing, and "It Takes Three" becomes a bonafide winner! This album represents three generations of great blues harpists, as Gary Smith taught David Barrett, who then taught Aki Kumar. Barrett has written some innovative harmonica arrangements that pay homage to the Chicago blues harmonica style while putting a unique spin on things. This is a must have CD for anyone who plays harmonica or who just enjoys great blues music.
