Hey harpers, Someone asked, so here we go. Here's a discography (an obviously incomplete one) of "Chicago Chromatic" tunes. I list first, the Band leader, then the CD title, then the song title. All of these cuts are played on a key of C chromatic. Some of the LW cuts also include some G diatonic passages mixed in with the C Chromatic stuff. Some of the George Smith stuff and the cut by Jerry Portnoy are played with the slide held in.
