John Kattke
John, a.k.a. Brother John, has been a resident musician at Buddy Guy's Legends
in Chicago for over 30 years. Through his work with Chicago blues greats Buddy
Guy & Otis Rush, he has jammed with Eric Clapton, Steve Miller, auditioned
for the Black Crowes (in 1998, but they hired Jimmy Page instead), and acquired
ringing endorsements from many other musicians of renown. For example: Led Zeppelin
vocalist Robert Plant had seen John play with Otis Rush at the Jazz Café in
London. When Plant and Kattke met in person at the United Center in Chicago, Plant
told Kattke: "You play a mean guitar!" George Benson came to the jam session that
Kattke hosts at Buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago. After hearing the opening set that
John played with his band, Benson told him: "You’re fearless! I thought I was
fearless! You’re fearless!"
