Died at his home in LA recently at the age of 90. I only heard about his passing this morning, and it really hit me hard. He was always one of my heroes when I was in my teens and really got me into the blues. The mystique was complete when he released "Blues from Laurel Canyon" and he was hooked by LA where he spent the rest of his life.
He left a hell of a legacy, with a whole stream of guitarists passing through his band, including Eric Clapton and Peter Green.
Rest in Peace John.
These second two are from the same session in 1970 when the band featured guitarist John Mark and saxophonist John Almond
And from later in 1971, when he changed formations again with guitarist Harvey Mandel and bassist Larry Taylor, both from Canned Heat, and violinist Don "Sugarcane" Harris, formerly with The Mothers of Invention

I remember the 6th form common room at Sandown had a Dansette record player. It was either Simon & Garfunkel, Disraeli Gears, Bolan's early efforts or JM's Bluesbreakers always on the turntable...
RIP John.
