Marvellous second live CD from New Zealand professional Harmonica player (and MandoHarp customer) Nola Mills. Jazz harmonica afficionados will particularly appreciate Nola's outstanding renditions of Larry Adler's Theme from Genevieve, George Gershwin's famous Rhapsody in Blue and Summertime, as well as Herbie Hancock's classic Watermelon Man.

Nola Mills was first introduced to the harmonica at the age of 5 by her father, Ray O'Daniels, who attempted to swap her over to trombone. Apart from the fact Nola couldn't hold a "trom", the harmonica stuck and has been developed into a lifetime of interesting work, both national and international.

Barry Brinson. You're just as likely to find Baz seated at a large Cathedral organ playing Bach, a Steinway playing Gershwin, or a Fender Rhodes playing Herbie Hancock, composing, arranging, and accompanying singers, violinists, and on occasions, even harmonica players!

Bob Heinz. Master Guitarist in any style - Jazz, Country, Rock'n'Roll, Funk, Classical (but not a capella as far as we know). Tutor, mentor, and friend to generations of students, loved by fellow musicians, an all-round good bloke. Whatever charts you put in front of Bob - he just plays good!

Michael Bell is a producer, composer, arranger, recording engineer and bass player. Michael's typical week might include arranging for big band, composing a film score for orchestra, performing, producing a video, running two businesses, producing pop singers, recording music for TV and featuring as a bassist on Nola's latest album.

Claude Askew hails from the US and is now living in Christchurch permanently.
