Jasmine

In 1982 the Jasmine Label was created producing LPs and Cassettes. The new label initially focused on licensed Jazz and Personality recordings. Later in 1985 Jasmine successfully launched its Country & Western catalogue. 1990 saw the release of Jasmine’s first CDs.
Appears also on labels as: JASMINE only and as a company (with manufacturing and distribution roles).

For unofficial releases, use [l=Jasmine Records (10)].

The latest volume in Jasmine’s ‘In Session’ series is devoted to one of the most influential but possibly least known blues harmonica players of all me, Big Walter Horton. Once again, it features all of Walter’s own recordings plus examples of the session work, he undertook in Memphis and Chicago.

The five-year period from 1951 to 1956 that this collection covers features his work with such notable blues stars as Otis Rush, Jimmy Rogers, Johnny Shines, Tampa Red and Sunnyland Slim. Willie Dixon who also features on his own Jasmine CD was often quoted as saying that in his opinion “Walter Horton is the best harmonica player I ever heard”.

After listening to these 28 examples of his work you may well agree. Includes fully detailed liner notes.
