Details:
(Compiled by John Mayall) .. If the late Alexis Korner was the Godfather of the British blues movement John Mayall must surely be considered its father. Not only is he still performing after a career spanning five decades during that lengthy career he mentored many other British blues icons including Eric Clapton Peter Green John McVie and Mick Taylor amongst others. John's interest in the blues was nurtured at an early age listening to his father's jazz collection. Leadbelly Albert Ammons Pinetop Smith and Eddie Lang were amongst John's early influences and from their music he taught himself to play piano guitar and harmonica. "BOOGIE WOOGIE PIONEERS" is a collection of Piano Blues compiled by John which in his words has allowed him "to take a trip down memory lane". The collection is a reflection of John's own musical journey the works are presented in chronological order and are from a variety of artists both well known and some lesser known. It follows the development of the genre from the influential Cow Cow Davenport's "Cow Cow Blues" recorded in 1929 through to the brilliance of Otis Spann recorded in 1960. John Mayall has written the liner notes to this collection
