Not being a harpist, but having seen them played in movies and TV, I know they are usually tilted when played. Ernie was accurate in showing that Sluggo is just too small to play the harp… :-P
1- SLUGGO: Don’t bother me. I been down to the Crossroads and made a deal with the devil to be the greatest blues harp player ever. 2- NANCY: Wow. Sluggo is gonna be bigger than Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson combined… 3- …I think I’ll go hear Sluggo bend a few notes… 4- …Sluggo – you idiot. You got screwed! SLUGGO: Quiet! I’m trying to remember how ‘Your Funeral and My Trial’ goes…
Dorothy Jeanne Thompson (August 6, 1930 – April 13, 1986), better known as Dorothy Ashby, was an American jazz harpist and composer. Ashby extended the popularization of jazz harp past a novelty, showing how the instrument can be utilized seamlessly as much a bebop instrument as the saxophone. Her albums were of the jazz genre, but often moved into R&B, world and other musics, especially on her 1970 album The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby, where she demonstrates her talents on another instrument, the Japanese koto, successfully integrating it into jazz.
