Jazz Blues Fusion is a Live album by John Mayall. The first side is from a gig in Boston on 18th November 1971, and the second side was selected from two concerts at Hunter College, New York on 3rd and 4th December 1971.
This is an outstanding album that deserves a listen by all blues fans. Mayall's legacy may well be assembling and recognizing talent long before those individuals move on to become household names. Here however, Mayall keeps the formula simple by adding the trumpet of Blue Mitchel and Sax of Clifford Solomon with the guitar of Freddy Robinson and the percussion of Ron Selico for some fantastic, ahead of its time, Blues with a Jazz flavor. Stand-outs are the trumpet led "Good Times Boogie" and the jam, "Exercise In C Major For Harmonica"... Simply outstanding.
