about

Paul Butterfield was one of the most highly regarded harmonica players to come out of the Chicago blues scene. Throughout the 1960s he was the leader of his influential blues band playing with iconic musicians as Elvin Bishop, Mike Bloomfield, Buzzy Feiten, David Sanborn and many others. He recorded 7 albums for Elektra Records breaking up the blues band in 1971.

This 9 track double CD/LP set was recorded in December 1970 and broadcasted on WPLJ-FM radio from A&R Studios in New York City in front of a live audience. The lineup is mostly the same as the one that recorded for Elektra the previous March at the Troubadour in Los Angeles with Paul Butterfield on vocals and harmonica, David Sanborn on alto sax, Gene Dinwiddie on soprano sax, Trevor Lawrence on baritone sax, Steve Madaio on trumpet, Ralph Wash on guitar, Rod Hicks on bass guitar, and Dennis Whitted on drums.

While there is little doubt that the Butterfield Blues Band took a hit when Mike Bloomfield left, the group compensated by shifting musical direction, adding a horn section. Every new album represented a progression in the blues idiom, synthesizing and rearranging elements of blues, soul, rock, and jazz into something new and exciting.
