Melody Maker review : The music which is currently drawing the biggest crowds in London clubs these days is plain unadulterated rhythm-n-blues. And the rhythm-n-blues purveyed by Alexis Korner's Blues Inc unit at The Marquee every Thursday night is not music just to listen to - it's music to twist to, jive to, jump to, swing with, and get with. Last Thursday the joint was jumpin' with 800 fervent fans. Now when did a non-trad club in London last do business like that? The line-up is leader Korner on guitar, Dick Heckstall-Smith (tenor), Graham Bond (alto), Johnny Parker (piano), Jack Bruce (bass) and Ginger Baker (drums).
