Is he using a plunger over the top of a Harmon mute?

Solar Bell

Yep.

I have done that many times when playing a harmon right into a mic.

Picked it up from my dad.

Wow, I learned two things in this thread.

1: I had never heard of Al Aarons, who I am now going to to check out because that solo was killin'

2: the plunger-harmon thing. I have never seen that before either. I guess I have to buy a Harmon brand Harmon now.

My friend,since most of the "record stores" are now closed within a ten mile radius of my community in the Pittsburgh,Pa area,I've recently found recordings that turn out to be excellent for one's listening pleasure that includes some leaders and many sidemen I've never heard before.
Although they are used CD's,I'm now a frequent shopper at "Half Price Books" and their stock of yester-years recordings by "LONE HILL JAZZ (an outfit in Barcelona,Spain)" is worth pursuing.

Like well,Laugh often,love much !
