MAYALL, John: John Mayall's Bluesbreakers - The Power Of The Blues, Pt. II (CD)

(MIG Music) 9 tracks, digisleeve - recorded Live In Germany April 1987

The death of John Mayall on July 22, 2024 at the age of 90 has shocked blues fans around the world.

Mayall was already an accomplished harmonica player, keyboardist and guitarist, but as a bandleader he was exceptional. He had a remarkable gift for recognizing talented musicians, nurturing them and creating an environment in which they could flourish. In the 1960s alone, his band The Bluesbreakers included Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce, who later formed Cream; Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, the founders of Fleetwood Mac; Mick Taylor, who later joined the Rolling Stones; Jon Hiseman, Tony Reeves and Dick Heckstall-Smith, who later formed Colosseum; Andy Fraser, who later launched Free, and so on and so forth. Mayall had several British chart albums in the 1960s, including “Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton”, arguably the most influential British blues album of all time. But in the 1970s, he had to fight for success and recognition.

“There was a time when I didn't even get a record deal, even though we continued to play live as much as ever,” he said. Reuniting with his former band members Mick Taylor, John McVie and Colin Allen for a tour seemed to re-motivate Mayall, and in 1984 he formed the Bluesbreakers with guitarists Walter Trout and Coco Montoya, who can be heard on “The Power Of The Blues Part II”. Both Trout and Montoya admired Mayall's skills as a bandleader, Trout recalls: “You won't find a better bandleader. What I learned from him is that being a bandleader is a talent in itself. He was fun and humorous”. The Trout / Montoya Bluesbreakers inevitably disbanded. Drummer Joe Yuele remained with Mayall until 2008, while Trout and Montoya left the group in 1989 and 1993 respectively to lead their own bands. Bassist Bobby Haynes also left the band in 1990 to go his own way before he died on July 31, 2018 at the age of 83.
