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

John Mayall, Lots of People, 1977 on ABC Records

Mayall live from The Roxy in LA, recorded November 24th, 1976. This was Mayall’s eighth live album, with supporting band including a horn section with Red Holloway, Ann Patterson, David Li, Jimmy Roberts, Bill Lamb, and Nolan Smith. That’s lots of people on stage.

I’m something of a Mayall completist – this mid-seventies California Jazz fusion exploring Mayall is maybe my least favorite, but I’m still along for the ride.

"Blues Breakers w/Eric Clapton" released this day in 1966. When I wanted to pick up the guitar all the slingers in my circle advised I needed to listen to this album. This was a new vocabulary for the instrument. A new pallet. A 1960 Les Paul run thru a Marshall 1962 had quite an impact then and continues to inspire.
