Devastated to hear the 'Top Man' of British Jazz & Blues has left us. His band was/is my 2nd fave outfit whom I saw many times over the years. Though many thought of him as a 'Trad' man, his heart was in the Blues, and he introduced to this country such greats as Rosetta Tharpe and Sonny Terry & Brownie Mcghee. Bill Wyman always said "No Chris, no Stones!" Guitarists should check out his Sideman John Slaughter.....leaves Clapton standing!
Goodbye old friend.
