Details:
SWISSISSIPPI CHRIS HARPER's âFour Aces And A Harp" âcreates the opportunity to showcase Chris's amazing technique in a setting with some of the greatest Chicago players, Harper's whirling, propulsive harmonica playing is heavily influenced by Little Walter Jacobs and Big Walter Horton, as well as Sonny Boy Williamson II, but he's also added plenty of his own touches and flourishes, the mark of any excellent musician. When you have musicians around like WILLIE âBIG EYES" SMITH (drums), BOB STROGER (bass), and JIMMY BURNS and JOHN PRIMER- (guitars/vocals) then you add the things that Chris can do on harmonica you have something quite special. They brought something fresh and inventive to every number.
