This is Skip "Little Axe" McDonald, my current favorite artist. Read his Wiki, went from playing with Grandmaster Flash to studio sessions and eventually his own groups, shifting over to trance blues. Check out his album The Wolf that House Built as a great starting point. It's in the trance blues basic repertoire.
