| | Biography: Little Walter |
| | Walter was backed by guitarists David and Louis Myers and drummer Fred Below (known as the Aces, this group had been working with Junior Wells), he made his first records for the CHESS subsiduary CHECKER records. | | | Amplifying the instrument by means of a small microphone held in his cuppped hands, Walter's harmonica took on a swooping saxophone-like sound that was perfectly wedded to the distinctive, imaginative, highly exiting character of his improvisations, derived as they were from listening to jazz saxophonists and probably bop musicians. | | | Then, Walter's constant approach to the songs first two choruses is much to deliberate and controlled to be the result of mere chance. |

| | Little Walter Jacobs-A Biographical Note by Glenn Weiser |
| | Little Walter began recording in 1950 with Muddy, first on the Parkway label, and then for Chess, the label he was to stay with for the rest of his short life. | | | The following year, Little Walter’s evolution beyond traditional folk-blues began when he started to listen to the records of jump saxophonist Louis Jordan and learn his solos note for note on harmonica. | | | It was the core of what was to be the world’s most celebrated blues band. |

| | The Little Walter Transcriptions by Glenn Weiser |
| | "Little Walter used very complex rhythms but the music is playable for a serious student," said Weiser, who's also translated volumes of fiddle music for the harmonica and classical guitar. | | | It was while recording with the legendary Waters that Little Walter Jacobs came into his own, breaking for a solo career in 1952, when his catchy instrumental, "Juke," topped the blues charts. | | | Each tune in the latest book lists the album on which the original Little Walter recording can be heard. |

| | With Waters's band in early 1950s Chicago, Little Walter contributed to a style of electrified blues that would forever change the dynamics of pop music. | | | Eventually, Walter wound up in Chicago in the city's Maxwell Street area, where musicians congregated to jam every Sunday morning alongside vendors hawking their wares. | | | Walter lives on in the music of any harmonica player who tries to bend a note and play the blues, many of whom worship the man for his brash approach to the instrument that so changed the sound of American music. |

| | Contributor's Comments: This is the man that inspired Otis Spann to say, "The harmonica is the mother of the band." | | | He was the first of many luminaries to hold the harp chair in Muddy Waters' band, as Waters created amplified blues. | | | He may not have been the first person to clasp a mic directly to the harp, and lay a little echo on, but very few of his followers have ever ventured beyond the territory that he mapped out, and most of them have only explored a small part of it. |
