@trichomepanther I said earlier that I give Mayall deserved props for his skills as a bandleader and, I should add, as a talent scout. My guess,though, is that Mayall sold records because he had good bands around him and, for a period at least, he performed solid blues material. Fans , on the whole, were drawn to the guitarists, not the harmonica playing.

@TheoBurke I dunno man I always hear Mayall discovered Eric Clapton Im pretty sure thats the fact jack.Mayall had work, a lot of it. Many musicians were going in gaining and then leaving. Mayall didn't care he knew how special all of em were. Nothing against them they needed $,but Mayall had to of helped their careers. and if Mayall was helping them I just can't help but think he had to of been a decent harp player.you can't sell albums if your no good right.Do you like Im Your Witch Doctor?

But he was not a particularly interesting harp player--there are times on his albums where he really, really struggles to keep up with his sidemen. I saw this band twice back in the day, and and the low points were always Mayall;s harmonica work; you wish Butterfield were around to make the mix work.

@trichomepanther My comments about Mayall;s playing are just the facts of the case; of his generation of white blues harmonica players--Butterfield, Musselwhite, Corky Siegel, Norton Buffalo, Jeffery Carp--Mayall is the least accomplished technically. He has released a lot of good, even inspired music, but that was because he brought his chops as a band leader to bear on the various ensembles he put together.
ottimo blues and jazz
