If you are trying to expand your harmonica vocabulary, how about some Modal Jazz? Miles’ classic tune “Nardis” fits like a glove on a G harp. I’ll show you how to play the melody and solo over the changes (no overblows/overdraws). And for different flavors, I also play it on C and A harps. It’s more challenging but it sounds great.
The tune has a standard AABA form, but uses the Phrygian Mode and a well-known Middle Eastern scale, unusual for a Jazz standard. Made famous by pianist Bill Evans, jazz musicians have been playing this mystical modal jazz tune since it was first recorded.
“Nardis” by Miles Davis, 1958
