Well, I'm marketed by my label as "blues", and we had a lot of blues
harmonica players. But just to clarify things, I'm a jazz based player and
have worked with the likes of Phineas Newborn Jr, Shelly Manne, Ray Brown,
Big Jay McNeely, and lots of others. I also know standards, rock, pop, just
a touch of classical, and I read music. So please don't let the "blues"
scare you chromatic players away.

Oh, and speaking of jazz - I opened with Jive Samba ;-)

BTW some LIVE tunes by The IronMan Curtis Band:
