Description
Alexis Korner Testament
Released : June 1985 Thunderbolt LP (THBL-2.026) Re-released: 2000 Thunderbolt CD (CDTB 2.026) Label: Thunderbolt Format: Mp3@320  The great bluesman and broadcaster Alexis Korner died in 1984 – at the age of 54 – having helped shape the course of postwar popular music. From the late 50s to the early 80s he mentored and inspired the young musicians who would later form the Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Cream, Manfred Mann, Free, Led Zeppelin and many other bands – including my own. As a musical ambassador Alexis also helped bring just recognition for many giants of Afro American music. Legendary artists such as Big Bill Broonzy, Otis Spann, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee regularly stayed with Alexis and his wife Bobbie as house guests, while Muddy Waters was godfather to their daughter Sappho. Alexis enjoyed five Top 40 hits of his own with CCS in the early seventies, before making his name as one of the nation’s foremost music broadcasters, with a breadth and range of musical taste matched only by the late John Peel.
