The Profile

Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated was a British blues band formed in 1961 by Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies. Among the first in London to play amplified blues, it became a revolving-door ensemble that nurtured key figures of the 1960s scene, and left landmark recordings such as R&B From the Marquee and At the Cavern.

Formed in London in 1961 by Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies; pioneers of British electric rhythm & blues; alumni included Charlie Watts, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Long John Baldry, Dick Heckstall-Smith, and (in early appearances) Mick Jagger; noted releases include R&B From the Marquee (1962) and the 1964 Cavern Club recordings.

One glowing review celebrates Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated as pioneers of British electric blues. It highlights their open-door lineup, historic Marquee-era recordings, and the raw power of At the Cavern (1964). Names like Jack Bruce, Charlie Watts, and Mick Jagger pass through the story. The tone is reverent and archival, with a 5/5 rating.
