[Harp-L] Re: Sugar Blue

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

Incidentally, John...I took the liberty of showing the paragraph you'd  
posted a couple of weeks ago to Sugar (we converse on facebook), since I 
thought  it was a wonderful review of his playing.
 
The pertinent paragraph:
 
"there is a tune on the ANGEL HEART movie soundtrack CD  called "Right Key, 
But the Wrong Keyhole" sung by Lillian Boutte. On this tune,  Sugar Blue 
plays amplified diatonic harmonica and sounds so much like a muted  trumpet, 
you don't realize it's a harmonica at first. But, even after you do,  the 
phrasing is so jazz horn like that it's amazing and conveys that precise  feel 
and feeling one gets listening to a good jazz sax or trumpet player.  
Incredible, very sophisticated performance. Unbelievable tone and phrasing. I've  
never heard anything else like it from a harmonica player."
 

I also mentioned that your review had been posted on  harp-l.  He's just 
asked me about harp-l, so I've referred him to  fjm...hopefully to sign on 
here and to other harmonica lists I belong to.
 
Now he would definitely fit the criteria of somebody 'famous' posting...but 
 I'm not sure he will as yet...despite being a wonderful and articulate 
writer.  Sugar's a busy, gigging/traveling musician with a new album coming out 
very  soon, is a class act and his facebook postings are usually dead-on 
with my  own points of view. He may decide just to read the list and remain 
unseen and  silent..but if he has decided to sign on, I would like to be among 
the  first to welcome him.
