Big Harp George is a curious case in blues music Lawyer, happily married, father and teacher, he did not start to play blues until he reached his mature years, about 2014 when he was 59 years old The amazing success of his first album made him to think seriously to devote with more energy to this new interesting facet, he confirms with this last album In this new recording Big Harp George reveals himself an excellent chromatic harmonica blower, gifted with a superb technique and, at the same time, a sophisticated phrasing that makes him deserve a prominent place among contemporary blues harmonica players George follows the path of George Harmonica Smith who deeply influenced him His style has been compared with such great masters like Mark Hummel, William Clarke, Paul DeLay or Rod Piazza It is also remarkable George does not usually employ Astatics, Green Bullets or other amplified microphones, instead he prefers the voice micro, which gives a special elegance and soft nuances to each and every one of the thirteen songs that have been included in this superb album Among the great musicians who back him, a special mention to Kid Andersen or Little Charlie Baty A real gem to enjoy with!
