Chris cain is weird. A Greek African American Fusion guitarist who does BB King impersonations. Awesome player

Not Shuggie Otis, then?

Interesting comparison to Shuggie. But Shuggie was on the genre busting side of things. Chris Cain is more straightforward in either a Blues or Fusion way.

This is a very nice descending melody

Thanks for link; one of my favourite Grant Green tunes: Idle Moments

I have a bootleg I downloaded, don’t know any details, of another blues genius , Shuggie Otis ,with Jack Mcduff B3, on a Etta James live session, do you know anything about a live recording with those players ?

It's almost certainly from these 2 albums, recorded at the same gig:

They were on Fantasy and I'm sure that, though they're out of print, you can pick up LP or CD versions of both.
