John Mayall "Moving On" 1972

Great blues & jazz fusion. Freddy Robinson shines on guitar with a tasteful tone that is bluesy & jazzy. Previous Blues Breaker line-ups featured louder rock oriented guitarists, a style that would not mesh well with this group...
...My only knock with this set is Keef Hartley's drumming. Unlike Ron Selico on the previous Jazz-Blues Fusion album, Keef is an average rock drummer as evidenced by his solo on Worried Mind and fills throughout. This knocks the album from "great" territory to "good." The remaining players all have chops. The meandering endings (Where's 1 Keef? lol) throughout are the only clues that this group had not performed together often. The solos are great, save the two-note endless flutter of Charles Owens soprano solo on Worried Mind. "You've mastered circular breathing; we get it." He does wrap it up nicely, though. - Gregorio Blanco
