"Juke" is a harmonica instrumental recorded by then 22-year-old Chicago bluesman Little Walter Jacobs in 1952. Although Little Walter had been recording sporadically for small Chicago labels over the previous five years, and had appeared on Muddy Waters' records for the Chess label since 1950, "Juke" was Little Walter's first hit, and it was the most important of his career. Due to the influence of Little Walter on blues harmonica, "Juke" is now considered a blues harmonica standard.

Little Walter's "Juke," and some of the other solos are from my book, Masters of Blues Harp, which is available from this site. However, the system of harmonica indications in the printed version differs somewhat from my original manuscript versions, which appear here.
