Tamsin Dearnley is a standout harpist known for her range of classical and modern popular styles of music, including jazz. Here she plays "Take Five" as a solo piece and makes it sounds native to the harp. Listen and look for: her warm, plucky sound that compares more than favorably with a jazz hollow-body guitar in tone; open voicings and comped rhythms that fill the frequency spectrum; and her adjustment of the sharp/flat levers at the top of the instrument while she’s modulating steadily through the changes, It's a piece worth appreciating by lovers of any instrument. Also search YouTube for her renditions of "Lullaby of Birdland," "Black Coffee," and "Moving House Rag."
