Little Walter is the best blues harp player there ever was - period, bar none. His style, his tones, his solos were absolutely revolutionary and forever changed the landscape of blues harmonica. The man could make a tiny harmonica sound as big and versatile as a saxophone.
"While the other players in Muddy Waters' band were electrifying the blues, Little Walter was doing something unprecedented. Holding his harmonica and a microphone in his cupped hands, Walter attacked the instrument with the authority of the bop sax players who'd influenced him, bringing a dynamic new sound to Chicago blues. In 1952, after Walter's own "Juke" topped the R&B charts, he started his own group. Walter was a disciplined musician, but he had less control of his personal life. "He was hellacious when he drank," said Lazy Lester Johnson. Walter died at thirty-seven after suffering head injuries in a street fight." - www.rollingstone.com
Marion Walter Jacobs' ascent to becoming one of the greatest exponents of the sound known as Chicago Blues began in 1951 when he became a fixed member of Muddy Waters' band. Two years later he rocketed to the top of the charts with the smash hit "Juke." From there, he established his own group and scored more hits like "Sad Hours" and "My Babe." Along with his virtuoso technique and his love of experimenting with echo effects, Little Walter is noted for his clear, unfussed style which occasionally brings back memories of Louis Jordan's saxophone melodies, thereby taking up influences from popular jazz. This album covers the whole spectrum of his playing.
