John Mayall's Bluesbreakers - The Power Of The Blues Part II (CD)

Fantastic live recording featuring Walter Trout and Coco Montoya, recorded live in April 1987 in Frankfurt (Germany). John Mayall's death, on July 22, 2024, aged ninety, devastated blues fans throughout the world. As a harmonica player, keyboard player and guitarist Mayall was accomplished but as a bandleader he was extraordinary, with a remarkable gift for identifying talented musicians and creating a context that enabled their talents to flourish. In the 1960s alone his band The Bluesbreakers variously included Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce, who went on to form Cream; Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, who went on to form Fleetwood Mac; Mick Taylor, who went on to join The Rolling Stones; Jon Hiseman, Tony Reeves and Dick Heckstall-Smith, who went on to form Colosseum; Andy Fraser, who went on to form Free; and so on and so on.Mayall had several British chart albums in the 1960s, including Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton, surely the most influential British blues album ever.
