JOHN MAYALL - Jazz Blues Fusion (1972)
You can't go wrong when you put this album on when it's time to party; it is impossible to listen to this and not tap, dance or otherwise get movin'. "Country Road" and "Dry throat" contain some of the best jazz/blues you'll ever hear. All the cuts on the album rock. "Mess around" is another great cut. There is one slightly tedious cut which features everyone and lets face it, bass and drum soloes can become a bit "longer than they are". But it is a live performance and that's usually part of a live show; but, for me, that is only a small glitch in this album; it is still one of my favorite Mayall works. Whatever happened to Freddy Robinson? Great guitarist. The horns on this album are also great. Mayall does some of his best harp work too. Having been a musician in an earlier life, I remember times when during a jam or performance that the music is so tight and everyone is so locked in that the volume increases slightly, the energy goes up and the precision is just unbelieveable...you can hear many such moments like that during this performance--and the audience's response is right there! You won't find a live album engineered and performed much better than this...these guys are all great musicians and they had excellent sets those nights! This album just flat out cooks...
