Early Years Collected - The First Generation: 1965-1974 (35cds)
¿Qué hacen los guitarristas Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Jon Mark, Harvey Mandel y Freddy Robinson, los multiinstrumentistas de caña / viento de madera John Almond, Ray Warleigh, Alan Skidmore, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Red Holloway y Ernie Watts, los bajistas John McVie? , Jack Bruce, Andy Fraser, Tony Reeves, Stephen Thompson y Larry Taylor, los bateristas Mick Fleetwood, Keef Hartley, Aynsley Dunbar, Jon Hiseman y Collin Allen, los trompetistas Henry Lowther y Blue Mitchell, y el violinista Don "Sugarcane" Harris comparten en común ? Son solo algunos de los músicos notables que pasaron por la puerta giratoria de los diversos grupos de John Mayall en una carrera que ahora abarca casi seis décadas. Además, todos participaron en la primera década fundamental del tecladista, guitarrista, vocalista, armónico y compositor de blues británico como líder de banda, de 1965 a 1974.
Mayall, que ahora tiene 87 años, sigue siendo fuerte salvo, por supuesto, el impacto de la pandemia actual en las giras. Su álbum más reciente, Nobody Told Me (Forty Below), fue lanzado en 2019, y apareció por última vez en Ottawa en 2012, donde entregó un set nocaut en el Festival de Jazz de Ottawa, cuando aún se acercaba al estatus de octogenario.
A pesar de seguir actuando como mentor de músicos emergentes a lo largo de una carrera discográfica que ahora abarca casi seis décadas, los primeros diez años de Mayall como artista de blues de grabación y actuación siguen siendo los más conocidos y, en general, los más queridos. Muchos de los músicos que pasaron por las muchas encarnaciones de su banda Bluesbreakers y grupos posteriores desde 1965 hasta 1974 pasarían a logros artísticos personales aún más significativos y, en algunos casos, a una mayor fama y fortuna. Entre ellos, Eric Clapton y Jack Bruce pasaron a formar el trío de guitarras Cream, antes de separarse después de apenas 29 meses, con el guitarrista construyendo una carrera en solitario aún más exitosa, una verdadera leyenda de la guitarra hasta el día de hoy.
Peter Green, John McVie y Mick Fleetwood dejaron Mayall en masa, acuñando la primera encarnación de Fleetwood Mac y, continuando con la tradición del blues que habían perfeccionado con Mayall, duraron apenas tres años antes de que los problemas de sustancia de Green lo obligaran a dejar el grupo. El guitarrista desaparecería y reaparecería en la escena musical más de una vez en los años siguientes, pero continuó grabando y girando, experimentando finalmente un renacimiento artístico con su Splinter Group a partir de 1997. Fleetwood y McVie, por supuesto, siguieron adelante a través de varios Formaciones de Fleetwood Mac hasta que, habiéndose trasladado a los EE. UU., Se encontraron con la guitarrista y vocalista Lindsey Buckingham y el cantante Stevie Nicks. El resto, como ellos dicen, es historia.
Mick Taylor se despidió de Mayall para reemplazar al cada vez más impredecible Brian Jones en The Rolling Stones. Grabando y viajando con la banda durante su apogeo de 1969-1974, apareció por primera vez en el emblemático Let It Bleed (Decca, 1969), y continuó participando en cinco álbumes más de estudio y en vivo a través de It's Only Rock 'n Roll (Rolling Stones Records, 1974).
