SUMMARY:Sugar Blue
DESCRIPTION:http://www.sugar-blue.com/ \n“…one of the foremost harmonica players of our times …” – Rolling Stone \n“…the man who took Little Walter’s innovations on that same instrument clear into the stratosphere!” -Time Out Chicago \nKnown as the Jimi Hendrix and Charlie Parker of the harmonica\, Sugar Blue’s astonishing technical mastery is instantly recognizable for its soaring trills\, flamboyant flourishes and swooping glissandos that bring the tiny dynamo’s range to life.\nBorn in Harlem\, New York he spent his childhood listening to performances at the famous Apollo Theatre where his mother was a singer and dancer. He made his first recordings in the mid 1970s with pioneering blues figures Brownie McGhee\, Roosevelt Sykes\, Victoria Spivey and Johnny Shines. \nOn the advice of pianist Memphis Slim\, he moved to Paris\, where he met the Rolling Stones – who used his unmistakable sound to good advantage on three of their albums. That’s Sugar Blue\, blasting on their ’78 platinum disco hit “Miss You”. \nHe waxed albums “Crossroads” and “From Paris to Chicago” in Europe before moving to Chicago to learn more from the giants of the blues harmonica. He toured with Willie Dixon’s Chicago Blues All Stars\, formed his own band and won a Grammy in 1985 for his contribution to the album Blues Explosion recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival. He also played on Willie Dixon’s Grammy winning album Hidden Charms in 1989. \nBlue has made a few appearances on the big screen too: he performed in the Cinemax special\, Fats Domino and Friends\, (with Ray Charles\, Jerry Lee Lewis and others) in the 1987 thriller\, Angel Heart starring Robert DeNiro and in the recent years in “The Perfect Age of Rock’n’Roll” along with Pinetop Perkins\, Hubert Sumlin\, Ruby Dee and Peter Fonda. \nAfter a brace of albums\, Blue Blazes (1994) and In Your Eyes (1995)\, on the prestigious Alligator label\, Blue took a 12-year hiatus from the studio\, returning in 2008 with the highly acclaimed Code Blue.\, followed by Threshold and his latest work\, a powerful live double album “Raw Sugar Live”. \nSugar Blue is currently working meticulously on a studio album\, titled “Voyage” – always mindful of the advice of his mentor Willie Dixon\, to write about subjects you are passionate about. “That’s the key\,” Blue says. “We all feel deeply; it’s part of the human experience. I just put music to it.” \nSugar Blue Unplugged:\nhttps://youtu.be/dtNgTBZx2HY \nHarmonica Extraordinaire\nhttps://youtu.be/0JPcWONcGDM \nPress Release\nTinaTerryAgency: http://www.tinaterryagency.com/2016/01/sugar-blue-will-release-his-1st-studio-recording-in-over-5-years/ \n
