Little Walter

Marion Jacobs, más conocido como Little Walter, fue un armonicista, cantante y también guitarrista de blues. Nacido en Marksville, Luisiana, Little Walter es mencionado usualmente como uno de los más grandes del blues y constructor del sonido de Chicago. Su forma de tocar la armónica fue tan revolucionaria que es directamente comparable a lo que hizo Jimi Hendrix con la guitarra o Charlie Parker con el saxo, logrando sonidos, fraseos y expresionismo a niveles inimaginados para la época, marcando un estándar para siempre.
Tentado por conocer la gran ciudad y expandir sus horizontes musicales, Walter abandonó su escuela rural en Luisiana a los 12 años. Posteriormente fue vagando por diversas localidades: New Orleans, Helena, donde conoció a Sonny Boy Williamson, Memphis, St. Louis hasta llegar finalmente a Chicago en 1946.
Jacobs era alcohólico y esto siempre le trajo problemas personales, de esta manera aceptó giras a Europa dos veces, en 1964 y 1967 para recuperar el dinero que perdía en apuestas o peleas. Murió de una trombosis cerebral en el año 1968 luego de una pelea callejera.
Su instrumental del año 1952, "Juke", para el sello Checker, fue elegido como una de las 500 canciones que le dieron la forma definitiva al Rock and Roll (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame).
