Jazz Blues Fusion

Average rating:

this was the album that turned me on to both jazz and blues

saw john mayall in concert in the late 70's, featuring a lineup of musicians similar to those on the album, got the jazz blues fusion, listened to it 3000 times...till it was so scrached up. still enjoyed the performances from blue mitchell, freddy fastfingers robinson and clifford solomon. john mayall was the cutting edge of fusion, but it is most listenable, always with a groove to hang onto.

cant wait to hear it again on cd!!!

Exceptional live recording, 2nd only to Mayall's "Moving On"

This is a ***** superb album that is a must for any fan of blues or jazz or of jazz blues fusion. It is second as a John Mayall "Jazz Blues fusion" album only to the hard to find John Mayall album "Moving On" (which begs the question: when is this Masterpiece going to be issued on CD?). The most exceptional track on this album in my book is "Change Your Ways", in which John Mayall belts out a lyrical, funky, poetic message to his girlfriend, backed beautifully by sax, trumpets, lead guitar, and his own masterful blues harp.

Mayall's finest recording

I had long given up thinking this jewel would ever be released on CD. There is something about this record that just "works". It is a combination of Mayall's legendary ability to gather great talent and an exceptional live performance that really cooks. The "Good Times Boogie" cut is magical in its ability to remove you from reality.

I was quite small when I first heard this album and it made me a blues fan for life. I enjoy all music genres and this is one of my top 10 recordings. I do not tire of playing it and I always wonder what it would have been like to have been at the actual performance when such talent was firing on all cylinders. The album title is a bit misleading, the tracks are mostly blues in rhythm and chord progressions, but with jazz overtones expertly scattered about. This is John Mayall's finest work.
