[Harp-L] Who is Henry Carvajal?



I saw Rod Piazza last night, and again today at the Santa Cruz Blues 
Festival, and this is one harp player who knows how to showcase his entire band, each 
of whom is excellent. (And how many harp players would share the stage with 
two saxes and pull it off perfectly?)

But for once (rare in a show with a harp player) the thing that struck me 
most, was his guitarist, Henry Carvajal, who played some of the tastiest licks 
I've ever heard.

In this big jam, with Tommy Castro, Coco Montoya, Mighty Mike Shermer and 
Piazza, Carvajal stole the show. The big name guys stepped back and let him take 
the front of the stage. He sounded like an old, old blues guy dropped here 
four decades late.
