Re: [Harp-L] Any pro's got insight on Little Walters harmonies?

["James D Hoskins" <jameshoskinz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't read the Little Walter credits in many years, so I won't try to 
list who played on what.

I do certainly agree with what you say about the Meyers brothers and  Fred 
Below.

But, many of those recordings are also the greats, Robert Lockwood Jr. and 
Luther Tucker, another restrained and interesting pairing of guitarists. Mr 
Lockwood may be a big part of that jazz influence you are hearing on some 
tunes. I think there were some tunes with Louis Meyer and Robert Lockwood 
too.

The Lockwood/ Tucker team are on, I believe, on the majority of Sonny Boy 
2's Chess recordings, but I think they played on a lot of Little Walter's 
too. Most of the "out of the box"  jazz chord work I've heard on Chess, I've 
often believed to be Mr Lockwood. My 2cents, James
