Alexis Korner - Alexis Korner & Friends (2002) DVD5

The
main body of this disc is made up of a concert held to honor British
blues legend Alexis Korner in the early 1980s, featuring Bill Wyman,
Charlie Watts, and Ruby Turner. From the opening, which heavily features
the trombone and saxophone section, one can see the special brand of
British blues that Korner represented, some distance from the Rolling
Stones and most of the other acts that followed in his wake. This
concert represents just about the best showcase that Korner ever had for
his brand of blues, demonstrating just how taut and precise this type
of big-band blues could be in the right hands.

Korner gets to
sing a bit as well as play some hot lead guitar, and he turns in a
killer rendition of "Hoochie Coochie Man," among other songs; if that
song shows his command of Muddy Waters' sound, then his original "Mean
Fool" touches down in John Lee Hooker territory, and the finale,
"Clapping Song," steps into Bo Diddley's realm.

The bonus
features include a documentary entitled Alexis Korner: The Man and His
Music - following a montage of his album jackets, we get recollections
of Korner from deejay Bob Harris, who takes us back to Korner's career
roots in the 1950s, and then forward through to the Ealing Club, and his
attracting people like Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Jack
Bruce, and Eric Burdon - Korner himself is heard and seen in archival
footage, explaining how he came to get his residency at the Marquee
Club, and we see concert excerpts of Korner on-stage.

The only
flaw in this section of the documentary is that there is no mention made
of Korner's original musical partner, Cyril Davies. There's also a
documental on Furry Lewis that's worth the price of the disc -- why it's
here is anyone's guess, but it's made up of stills accompanied by
Lewis' recollections, and cuts back to footage of Lewis playing before
an audience in the 1970s. The 18-minute tribute closes with the first
half of Lewis' classic rendition of "Casey Jones."
