Biography
British blues musician and radio broadcaster Born April 19, 1928, Paris, France. Died January 1, 1984, London, England. Korner travelled with his parents through Switzerland and North Africa before settling in London as a 12 year-old. He grew up listening to the early blues pioneers and his music career as a guitarist and singer really began with engagements in [a1421932] and [a=Chris Barber] bands. In 1956, Korner met [a1053895] with whom he founded the blues club in Ealing and the band [a=Blues Incorporated]. Their aim was to play 'real' and uncompromising blues (probably the first 'electric British blues' bands) becoming a platform for the careers of [a=Mick Jagger], [a409290], [a=Jack Bruce], and [a=Charlie Watts]. Davis left in 1963 and Blues Incorporated disbanded in 1967. The following years saw Korner in many bands, most of them short-lived: [a3134722], [a=New Church] and [a=Snape]. From the late 1960s, Korner toured, often as [a1251059] - for instance with [a=Peter Thorup], but mostly with bassist [a=Colin Hodgkinson]. By the late 1970s, Korner gained recognition as a radio DJ and broadcaster, continuing to record sporadically with bands such as [a325864] and Snape. His 50th birthday all-star concert was released as [Link]. In 1981, he joined the "supergroup" [a1227376], led by [a255182] and based on boogie-woogie keyboard players, which featured a rhythm section comprising Jack Bruce and Charlie Watts, among others, as well as a horn section. Korner died from lung cancer in 1984. His daughter [a5017845] (aka [a1234779]) and son [a3951628] (Nicholas) were musicians, and his other son [a93015] was a sound engineer.
