๐ŸŽผ On the other side of the Ocean: British Blues

And what was happening outside the US?
American music was invading and becoming popular in many other countries thanks to
๐Ÿ‘‰Jukeboxes, Radio programs and the first Record Stores.

UK for obvious reasons was the first country to witness an increasing interest in Rock'n'Roll in late 1950s and early 1960s.
In particular 2 figures were fundamental for the growth of the so called British Blues, which would lead to the "British Invasion" in a few years: Alexis Korner first with his Blues Incorporated and John Mayall later with his Bluesbreakers ๐Ÿ“ธโ˜๏ธ

Many British musicians who became famous in the 60s were part of these 2 projects, which today could be addressed as incubators: #MickJagger, #BrianJones, #JackBruce, #EricClapton to name a few, all started with ๐ŸŽงAlexis Korner and ๐ŸŽงJohn Mayall.
And literally every rock artist and band of the time, started a career after attending concerts of the both at the legendary Marquee Club.
Pioneers!
