Bare Wires is a studio album by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, featuring Mick Taylor on guitar, Chris Mercer and Dick Heckstall-Smith on saxophones, Jon Hiseman on drums, Henry Lowther on cornet and violin, and Tony Reeves on bass. It was released in 1968 on Decca Records.[6] The album was the last John Mayall studio album to feature the name "Bluesbreakers"
Following the album, Mayall pared down the group from a seven-piece to a three-piece band and ultimately dropped the Bluesbreakers entirely. Reeves, Hiseman and Dick Heckstall-Smith went on to form Colosseum. - Wikipedia

je l'avais ratée mais cette émission in memoriam John Mayall est en podcast par ici
Une émission consacrée à un musicien sans lequel le blues britannique n’aurait, en grande partie, jamais existé. Sans lui, Eric Clapton, par exemple, ne se serait jamais révélé. Beaucoup l’ont oublié et, à l’heure de sa disparition, il est grand temps de le remettre en lumière.
John Mayall, the British blues musician whose influential band the Bluesbreakers was a training ground for Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood and many other superstars, has died. He was 90. He is credited with helping develop the English take on urban, Chicago-style rhythm and blues that played an important role in the blues revival of the late 1960s. A statement on Mayall's official Instagram page says he died Monday at his home in California. Though Mayall never approached the fame of some of his illustrious alumni, he was still performing in his late 80s, pounding out his version of Chicago blues.
