Aki Kumar and David Barrett - blues harp duet Part I (2013)

As part of a blowoff that took place on at Little Lou's BBQ in Campbell, California, BluesHarmonica.com founder David Barrett brought his former student, Aki Kumar, onstage with a challenge: listen to an improvised 12-bar head and then, without missing a beat, harmonize it! What follows is some masterful solo and twin-lead playing you're likely to hear, by two of the very best players on the scene. (Please note: the final minute of the duet will be uploaded in a second video with a Part II designation.)
