Brendan Power - THE BP BLUES - Original Swing Jazz Tune

Inspired by the AABA chord structure of Lester Young's "DB Blues", where the A part is a jazz-blues sequence and the B part is the bridge of Rhythm Changes. The head is played on a Lucky 13 harmonica in PowerChromatic Tuning, over a backing track by Alan Prosser.

I'm using a new SPK microphone by Steffen Kosiolek; he sent me this information about it:

SPK HARMONICA MICROPHONE
"The new generation of harmonica and voice microphone with an innovative shape: Specially designed to get the best amplified sound of the harmonica!"

Shape
housing made of robust, unbreakable polymer with very good surface grip (haptics), does not slip when hands are wet and is more lightweight compared to metal housings, antiallergic
ergonomic bullet-drop shape (with moderately small groove for close cupping, even with small hands)
“finger groove” for good grip, even when playing one-handed
sturdy but flexible silicone cap to protect the microphone capsule from any mechanical impact and drops
additional windscreen to suppress loud breathing or wind noises
frequency response-stable ribbed volume control at the end of the housing with a large control range

Sound characteristic
transmitted frequency range:50 Hz - 15000 Hz
characteristic working range: 50 Hz - 5000 Hz
within the working range, both low mid and bass frequencies are boosted. Above this range, shrill, distracting treble components are lowered moderately.
thus the disadvantages of the natural sound characteristics of the harmonica are eliminated and a homogeneous, pleasantly warm sound image was created/achieved across all octaves (from the lowest to the highest note).
by varying the instrument distance and the air pressure of the player, it is possible to play with the SPK microphone only - WITHOUT additional aids or effects - creating both a brilliant warm distortion-free CLEAN sound and an extremely fat an distorted bass-rich “Chicago”-sound.
the SPK Mic makes it possible to sing or to play harmonica without using two separate mics! A vocal microphone is therefore NO longer necessary.

Advantages:
The microphone can be used for both harmonica and vocals.
By simply varying the mouth-instrument distance and the individual air pressure (blowing and pulling pressure when playing) a brilliant, warm, distortion-free CLEAN sound can be achieved WITHOUT additional tools or effects but also an extremely brute, distorted, bass-rich CRUNCH sound for instrument or voice can be generated.

Technical data:
Option A:
Output impedance: 1 mega ohm = 1000 kilo ohms (ultra-high impedance dynamic moving coil microphone with large-diaphragm microphone capsule)

Variant B:
Output impedance: 3 kilo ohms = 3000 ohms (medium-impedance dynamic moving coil microphone with large-diaphragm microphone capsule)

Polar Pattern: Omnidirectional
Voltage: 2mV
Sensitivity: ?
XLR Female: mail
Length: 11cm
Max diameter: 4 cm
Weight (without pop): 170 g
Price: 200€ (without postage costs)
