Go buy or check out a book called "Harmonicas, Harps, and Heavy Breathers." The author is Kim Fields. The first couple of chapters deal with the question that you posed. The rest of the chapters are about the different players in all the different genres of music the harmonica is used in.
I think I heard that there is a new edition of the book, so you should be able to order it online or from any bookstore. Or maybe you could check it out at your local library.
Hope that helps.
