Kijk maar niet naar het Telegraaf-Kerst-Concert ! Hier is het veel leuker. Alexis Korner was een zanger-gitarist van Turks-Grieks-Oostenrijkse afkomst. Vlak voor de 2e wereldoorlog, Alexis was toen 12 jaar, streek de familie neer in London. Hij zou 20 jaar later van enorme invloed zijn op de ontluikende blues- en rockscene in Groot-Brittannië. Allmusic schrijft: Korner made his first record in 1957, and in early 1962, he and Cyrill Davies formed Blues Incorporated, a supergroup (for its time) consisting of the best players on the early-60s British blues scene. Korner (guitar, vocals), Davies (harmonica, vocals), Ken Scott (piano), and Dick Heckstall-Smith (saxophone) formed the core, with a revolving membership featuring Charlie Watts or Graham Burbridge on drums, Spike Heatley or Jack Bruce on bass, and a rotating coterie of guest vocalists including Long John Baldry, Ronnie Jones, and Art Wood (older brother of Ron Wood). Most London jazz clubs were closed to them, so in March of 1962 they opened their own club, which quickly began attracting large crowds of young enthusiasts, among them Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Brian Jones, all of whom participated at some point with the groups performances; others included Ian Stewart, Steve Marriott, Paul Jones, and Manfred Mann. In May of 1962, Blues Incorporated was invited to a regular residency at Londons Marquee Club, where the crowds grew even bigger and more enthusiastic. John Mayall later credited Blues Incorporated with giving him the inspiration to form his own Bluesbreakers group. Ik had een dubbel-lp van Alexis, het mooiste nummer vond ik Love is gonna go. Voorlopig mijn laatste bijdrage, vandaag. Morgenochtend hoop ik er weer vroeg bij te zijn ! (jan de stripman) youtu.be/mKI7-2exVM4
