Alexis Korner is rightly known as the “Father of British Blues.” As a musician, journalist, broadcaster, mentor, connector, and proselytizer, Korner devoted his life to developing a blues scene and spreading knowledge of the blues throughout the U.K. With his bohemian sense of fashion and swarthy looks, Korner cut a style in the 1950s and 1960s that brimmed with confidence, taste, and continental outsider charm… As Keith Richards pointed out, “Without Alexis Korner there would be no Rolling Stones.”
