San Francisco-based blues singer, songwriter, and chromatic harmonica player Big Harp George/George Bisharat returns with his sixth album, No Shortcuts. Like his last two albums, 2023’s Cut My Spirit Loose and 2024’s Cooking with Gas, he features players from the Greaseland gang, including guitarist Kid Andersen, Joe Kyle on bass, drummer Derrick D’Mar Martin, Chris Burns on keys, along with a bevy of horn players and vocalists, and The Morgan Brothers (James and Dwayne). Tenor saxophonist Doug Rowan, baritone saxophonist Aaron Linton, and trombonist Mike Rinta also play on all tracks. The credits list 20 musicians and vocalists.
Yes, he’s drawing on the folks that often record at Andersen’s Greaseland Studios and for Little Village. He infuses the wide-ranging gamut of blues and jazz styles with wit, sarcasm, and commentary on our current times. Before prioritizing music, George was a criminal defense attorney, award-winning professor of law at UC Hastings College of the Law, and expert commentator on law and politics in the Middle East.
Fans who love horn albums, swinging jazz, and especially jump blues, will gravitate to Big George’s “big sound” as he mixes instrumentals with vocal tracks. [---] Big Harp George proves again to be an astute bandleader, solid songwriter, and a consistent artist. What he lacks in vocal prowess is effectively masked by the huge sound emanating from the horns and background vocalists. /Jim Hynes, Rock & Blues Muse
