Sad. What a great talent. He was 90.

I was never deeply into his catalog, but the live Jazz Blues Fusion disc is not only a favorite, but it is one of the best recorded discs that I own live or studio. Great music and great players.

It’s a good one. One of my favorite Mayall recordings from a guitar standpoint. F. Robinson’s jazzy approach is such a refreshing change from the Blues Rock approach... not that I don’t like that, as well. But his playing is, IMHO, a major contributor to the overall vibe of the record.  

 

 

 

I agree. His playing is elegant and beyond reproach. same goes for Ron Selico's drumming.
