SUGAR BLUE: LIVE AT BUDDY GUYS LEGENDS, CHICAGO 3/15/08
We were treated to another mind-altering performance by the legendary Sugar Blue here in Chicago on Saturday night. I have kept in contact with him as a fan for many years and was first introduced to him at Rosas here in Chicago by none other then the late great Blues bass player Willie Kent.
I have always been in awe of Sugars Blues playing and asked him to sign my guitar and he willingly obliged. He started out his set, burning the house down at Buddy Guys with a stunning top-speed version of “I Aint Got You” and continued on throughout the night to support his new Live album “Code Blue”, playing at Warp Speed, with the technical ferocity of his Harmonica playing seeming to become more intense, as all the shimmering delicate notes began to rain down upon the audience almost like some type of magical, meteor shower from the stage.
There was a time in the 1990s when people were pointing to John Popper of Blues Traveler as the next great harp wizard. If he were to engage Sugar Blue on stage he would be found to be a mere “pre-school” student of Sugar Blue, and pales in comparison to the speed and precision of this absolute master of his instrument.
Quite simply put, Sugar Blue is a Living Legend of the Blues and Jazz. He is one of the all time greatest of the genre and once you have witnessed this performer live, and in person, you will understand why he is known as the “Jimi Hendrix” of the Harmonica.
I must say that he is beyond a shadow of a doubt, Sugar Blue is the Greatest Harp player of any style, and of all time. Dan Rogers, Chicago
