I got an invitation from a harmonica player named Harmonica Boris, who's based in Ekaterinburg, Russia, to listen to a solo piece of his called "Ad Libitum" at his Myspace page. I checked it out tonight, and man is it cool stuff. The playing is great--precise execution coupled with a beautiful tone and a very wide understanding of the sounds a harmonica can make. The structure has a very improvisatory feel--it's obviously inspired by free jazz players like Archie Shepp and John Coltrane, and it extends their vocabulary to embrace the harp in all its forms. All in all, it's a dazzling 2+ minutes of solo harmonica.
