Re: [Harp-L] Divisiveness

Bridging the gap -

I've already acted!

This morning, at our school's annual library sale, I found a CD of the
Charlie Hunter Quintet. I saw that Gregoire Maret was playing chromatic on
it -  I'd heard of him but didn't know his playing. I've had a very
enjoyable jazzy morning since purchasing the CD. Go Gregoire!
