Cyril Davies R & B All Stars:
In Nov. '62 harpist Cyril Davies left Alexis Korner and Blues Incorporated, wanting a tougher city blues sound. He formed Cyril Davies R & B All Stars, taking Long John Baldry with him from Blues Incorporated and recruiting Screaming Lord Sutch's backup musicians Rick Brown (bass) and Carlo Little (drums). The All Stars also listed talented guitarist Geoff Bradford among their members.
The All Stars evolved into Long John Baldry's Hoochie Coochie Men in January
'64 after Cyril Davies's death. Still Geoff Bradford on guitar - and Rod Stewart
as one of the vocalists.
Sad news: the legendary drummer Carlo Little passed away on Sat
6th Aug 2005 after a brave battle with lung cancer.
Please check out the Carlo Little website listed below under Links. Thank you.
Literature:
Bob Brunning: "Blues - The British Connection" BLANDFORD PRESS (1986) explains these complicated threads explicitly. A must!
