Who's the best blues harp player.

Personally, I think it's a toss up between Sonny Terry, James Cotton and Little Walter. Any Thoughts.

Little Walter haas always been one of my favorites for traditional blues.

I saw Jimmy Z. perform at a small club in Los Angeles in the 80's. There were maybe twenty people in the place, and fifteen had to have been his friends. He blew the doors down. Here's a link to more info: http://www.eharmonica.net/jimmy_z.htm
