jacquescovo, many thanks for your reply. I was unaware that Yancey said that! He sure succeeded, didn't he?

Your are absolutely right BuckshotLaFunke. Jimmy Yancey was equally known for saying ''I know that nobody plays like me, and I am not a blues pianist, I am an ehtnologist of the blues''.

He was the only one, no one plays like he did, those near-ghost notes that are piano tears.

What About Dear Otis Spann?? I think we ought to mention him here? and Memphis Slim too! But as you so rightly say who knows that with out the lead of of Alexis Korner And the great underrated blues harp player Mr C Davies. Who knows where the path of late fifties and sixies music would have led us

Alexis Korner said, "In 1940 I came across a record by Jimmy Yancey. I can't say how important that record is. From then on, all I wanted to do was play the blues."Alexis Korner (19 April 1928 1 January 1984),was a pioneering blues musician and broadcaster who has sometimes been referred to as "the Founding Father of British Blues". A major influence on the sound of the British music scene in the 1960s[1], Korner was instrumental in bringing together various English blues musicians.

2)In 1961, Korner and Davies formed Blues Incorporated, initially a loose-knit group of musicians with a shared love of electric blues and R&B music. The group included at various timesCharlie Watts, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Long John Baldry, Graham Bond, Danny Thompson and Dick Heckstall-Smith. It also attracted a wider crowd of mostly younger fans, some of whom occasionally performed with the group, including Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Rod Stewart, John Mayall and Jimmy Page.
