Helge Tallqvist Band ”plays Little Walter Jacobs”
Inspired by the great response of my cd plays George “Harmonica” Smith I have started a new project called “plays Little Walter Jacobs”. With Jo’ Buddy Raulamo on vocal & guitar and Sidekick Johnny, guitar. On drums Tyko “Down Home King lll” Haapala. These guys has also made a big success with their Jo’ Buddy & Down Home King lll band.
Little Walter Jabocs was the most successful Chess Records artist in the 50’s. He had lots of top 10 hits on the R&B chart and most of these big blues hits will be including the cd coming up.
Scrolling down this page, you can watch some video clips from a gig we had at Järvenpää Puistoblues Festival. With the soundtrack of a video camera. This gig was a small first step into the world of the great Little Walter Jacob. On this page you can follow up how this project will proceed with audio clips from our rehearsals etc.

Helge Tallqvist Band @ Järvenpään Puistoblues 2009
Helge Tallqvistin luotsaamaan bändiin kuuluivat Jussi Raulamo (kitara,laulu), Tyko Haapala (rummut) ja Sidekick Johnny kitara/basso. Helgen käsissä kyytiä saivat tietenkin huuliharput. Muhkeat huuliharppu-soundit olivat pääosassa koko keikan ajan. Vain kitarasoolot katkaisivat Helgen soiton silloin tällöin.
Kappaleista jäivät mieleen varsinkin "Mellow Down Easy" (W. Dixon) ja "Blues In
The Dark" (George Harmonica Smith). Hauska meininki syntyi kappaleeseen
"Rollercoaster" (Little Walter), kun loppupuolella Helge soitti blueskompin päälle
vanhaa kunnon "Jakko Kultaa". "Bad Boy" (Eddie Taylor) oli ehtaa tavaraa sekin.
Jussi Raulamon ja Tyko Haapalan komppi pysyi hyvin kasassa, sillä harjoitusta on
tullut rutkasti heidän oman duonsa, Jo' Buddy & Down Home King III:n keikoilla.
