jpkusa--I really liked that Bloomfield interview! It showed how bright he really was. Most people don't know he was a good acoustic and piano player too. Not to mention a musicologist specializing in the blues.
I dug out my Essential Mike Bloomfield CD and listened again last night and was really struck by the passion and intensity in his playing--he was an emotional master. My first impressions of Mike will always be the first Butterfield album and Dylan's Highway 61, but I also loved the Electric Flag too. His tone on the cuts from the live Supersession at the Fillmore is breathtaking.
