ALEXIS KORNER'S BLUES INCORPORATEDAlexis Korner, Cyril Davies, Dick Heckstall-Smith,
Graham Burbidge, Spike Heatley, Keith Scott
plus Long John Baldry
An inspirational figure in British R&B music, responsible for bringing together
many British blues legends and furthering the genre. Without Alexis Korner,
there still might have been a British blues scene in the early 1960s,
but chances are that it would have been very different from the one that spawned
the Rolling Stones, nurtured the early talents of Eric Clapton,
and made it possible for figures such as John Mayall to reach an audience

Its title notwithstanding, R&B from the Marquee was not a live album, nor was it cut at the Marquee: it was actually done
at Decca Records' London studio, albeit in one long day's work and effectively live-in-the-studio.
It was also the place where British blues began, at least as a recording proposition.
Blues played by Britons had been part of the underground music scene since the mid-'50s, and Blues Incorporated had been
a going concern in one form or another, initially guitarist Alexis Korner and harpist/singer Cyril Davies
(actually, maybe the first two Britons to play blues); but by this time, the group also included Dick Heckstall-Smith (tenor sax, backing vocals),
Keith Scott (piano), Spike Heatley (upright bass), and Graham Burbridge (drums), with Long John Baldry handling some lead vocals.
For this record, Big Jim Sullivan also sang backup, and Teddy Wadmore provides a key cameo appearance
for the electric bass guitar (then a new and alien instrument in this music).
The sound here is mostly out of late-'40s and early-'50s Chicago blues...(AllMusic)
