ALEXIS KORNER
Bootleg Him! (1962-1972)
In 1961, Alexis Korner formed BLUES INCORPORATED, the first electric white blues band of its kind in the world. Cyril Davies on harmonica, Alexis playing electric guitar, drummer Charlie Watts, and the tenor sax Dick Heckstall-Smith. Jack Bruce soon joined them on bass and Mick Jagger sang vocals.
Who was to know that later the history books would look back to this first grouping and find the origins of what the world later called "supergroups". BLUES INCORPORATED went on to become a British sensation. During this time, Korner never seriously thought of himself as a stylist-singer and only sang in the band when he had to. Hardly surprising when you consider the vocal talent available to him... Mick Jagger before THE ROLLING STONES.. Robert Plant before LED ZEPPELIN... Eric Burdon and Zoot Money before THE ANIMALS... Paul Jones (P. P. Pond in those days) before MANFRED MANN... Paul Rodgers before FREE, and amongst the earliest singers, Long John Baldry before he formed STEAM PACKET with Rod Stewart, Elton John, Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger.
Throughout the '60s, Korner was the nexus for the blues boom in the south of England. Handing out encouragement he helped along the birth of The Rolling Stones and many others. For years, the Korner home has been a haven for musicians like Brian Jones who would hitchhike up from Cheltenham for talks or a blow, and then wind up sleeping on the Korner living room floor. This process repeated itself frequently after musicians had become very famous. They would then return to Alexis for guidance after leaving or breaking up a group/often just to ask his help m finding new musical direction or musicians for the next group.
Alexis Korner was recognized as Europe's leading blues authority and occasionally delivered University lectures or television discussions. He also narrated the first Jimi Hendrix documentary.
On this double Lp from 1972, you get to hear some impossibly rare, and frequently surprising recordings from Korner's past. There's a wealth of recordings from Blues Incorporated, some at a time when Charlie Watts was their drummer (pre-Stones). There's also the band when Ginger Baker & Jack Bruce were learning the blues in 1963, well before Cream. Another gem is the lost recording with Korner playing while future Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant sings "Operator." What a set of treasures!
