Red Hot..Jazz not Blues, June 27, 2008
This review is from: Red Hot from Alex (Audio CD)
I like this album. Alexis Korner is reputed to be the Godfather of English blues but from what I hear on this and other Korner CDs is Jazz. If you are a true believer of English Blues then listen to early John Mayall, Early Chicken Shack and the first few albums by Fleetwood Mac when Peter Green was still the frontman for the group. These are all great blues albums and I play them to death. "Red Hot from Alex" is jazz with a bit of blues influence. If you like jazz, and thankfully I do then this is not a bad album to add to your collection. Blues purists may not be so impressed. My only real bone of contention with this CD is that it is mainly instrumental. I think a few more songs would have made this a great album.
