<\/iframe> \nIf you are not already a fan of Chicago Blues Legend Buddy Guy you are very likely to become one after seeing THE TORCH a new documentary directed by Jim Ferrell and distributed by IFC Films, set to premiere as the closing night presentation at the 55th<\/sup> Annual Chicago International Film Festival.<\/p>\nThe nearly two-hour movie demonstrates Guy\u2019s devotion to paying homage to those who preceded him such as blues greats like Muddy Waters and Howlin\u2019 Wolf as well as his passion for encouraging new talent, specifically young guitarist Quinn Sullivan who Buddy discovered in 2007 when the boy was just seven years old.<\/p>\nIt might be said that Buddy Guy is something of a late bloomer winning eight Grammy Awards after the age of 55 but the truth is those rewards were late coming due in part to the short-sightedness of Chicago\u2019s Chess Records who did not fully understand or appreciate who they had in their midst.<\/p>\nBorn in Louisiana, he grew up picking cotton and playing music on a homemade instrument. At some point he got a real guitar and eventually was good enough to set off for Chicago.<\/p>\nIll-prepared for the cold weather and with basically no money the nearly starving musician finally caught a break that led to appearances at various clubs around town.<\/p>\nWorking as a tow truck mechanic while periodically sitting in as a session guitarist on few records, Guy first began to gain well deserved notoriety with the British invasion of the late 1960s after groups like The Rolling Stones made a pilgrimage to Chicago to see the great Blues musicians whose recordings they had listened to and whose sound they revered.<\/p>\nWorld-renowned rock and roll guitarists like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Carlos Santana have all been inspired and influenced by Buddy Guy.<\/p>\nGuitar prodigy Quinn Sullivan a native of New Bedford, Massachusetts is given nearly equal time in this documentary as Guy\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and some say heir apparent.<\/p>\nIn 2008 just one year after the two met, Sullivan then not even nine years old performed a featured solo on the cut \u201cWho’s Gonna Fill Those Shoes” in Guy\u2019s Grammy-nominated album \u201cSkin Deep.\u201d<\/p>\nSince then the young man has been traveling the world playing concerts with his mentor sharing licks and getting valuable life lessons.<\/p>\nOne bandmate describes Quinn as an \u201cold soul.\u201d<\/p>\nIt is evident that there is a genuine rapport between the two virtuosos. At 83, Guy does not talk down to the younger Sullivan nearly 70 years his junior but rather treats him like a fellow professional. He expects much from the young musician who never fails to deliver.<\/p>\nSo therein lies the title of this film THE TORCH demonstrating Buddy\u2019s love for those who mentored him including the promise he made to keep the blues alive and doing so by actively \u201cpassing it on\u201d to the next generation.<\/p>\nBELOW ARE A FEW YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF BUDDY GUY AND QUINN SULLIVAN \n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ix4TNJvVk8M\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JoyG94HXo4A\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\nQuinn sings tribute to Buddy in Buddy Blues. \n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dw5F-y1U4bM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you are not already a fan of Chicago Blues Legend Buddy Guy you are very likely to become one after seeing THE TORCH a new documentary directed by Jim Ferrell and distributed by IFC Films, set to premiere as the closing night presentation at <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/the-torch-continuing-a-blues-legacy-film-review\/\">…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1145,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,10,516,289],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicago-entertainment","category-chicago-people","category-film-movies-cinema","category-podcasts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1144"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1155,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144\/revisions\/1155"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobroadcastingnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
