This is a very interesting question. I might suggest that Chicago may not be the only place to look.
Where else was blues being recorded from the 1920s forward? Memphis? Atlanta? Texas (as in Robert Johnson)? Detroit? Other cities?

Alright, we all know Walter's Crazy Mixed Up World and Blue and Lonesome,
etc.
Who was playing chromatic blues before Walter?
Although I will accept answers like Minevitch and Harmonicats' etc. I
am talking about blues players who seldom if ever would record outside
of the blues idiom. (Not that they could not play whatever style of
music they wanted to)
