Lynwood Slim is awfully good.  He does considerably more than most blues
 players with the chromatic. Not only does he spend a lot of time not
in third position, but he, gasp, uses the button.  He plays a lot of
horn lines and sings well.  Kind of the Eddie Vinson or Louis Jordan of
the blues harmonica.

My local (Bay Area) favorites are Hummel and R. J. Mischo.  R. J. isn't
a technical freak, but he has a feel for the blues that very few players
can match.
