With this new recording Big Harp George confirms his quality as harmonica player, especially with the chromatic one he is a real master with an amazing technique, but he also shows he is reliable and gifted singer Since in 2014 his album Chromaticism received several nominations, his fame has non-stopped to grow among blues fans and today he is one of the most respected artists, not only in United States but also internationally In this new album Big Harp George opens new horizons to his music, of course without leaving aside blues but adding a variety of chromatic nuances to the songs, that also have really provocative lyrics, but always developed with a fine irony as George is a true gentleman Starting from blues and jazz, Big Harp George introduces us to the music of Memphis and New Orleans, but he also drives us to other genres and cultures Along the more than sixty minutes of music gathered in the thirteen songs that give shape to the album, our man is backed by a big West Coast group of amazing musicians, the majority coming from The Bay Area, like Kid Andersen, Chris Burns, Lisa Leuschner Andersen, Michael Peloquin or Little Charlie Baty, who did one of his last collaborations before he passed away and whose memory the album is devoted
