		Bloomfield was quickly accepted on the South Side, as much for his ability as for the audiences' appreciation of the novelty of seeing a young white player in a part of town where few whites were seen.
		Bloomfield was recruited to play slide guitar and piano on early recordings (later released as The Lost Elektra Sessions) which were rejected for not fully capturing the sound of the band.
		Bloomfield left the Butterfield Blues Band in early 1967 ostensibly to give original guitarist Elvin Bishop, in Mike's words, "a little space." Undoubtedly he had also become uncomfortable with Paul Butterfield's position as bandleader and was anxious to lead his own band.

		Michael Bloomfield was one of America's first great white blues guitarists, earning his reputation on the strength of his work in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
		Bloomfield, however, was wary of his commercial success and growing disenchanted with fame.
		Unfortunately, Bloomfield was also plagued by alcoholism and heroin addiction for much of the '70s, which made him an unreliable concert presence and slowly cost him some of his longtime musical associations (as well as his marriage).

		In late 1964, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band was discovered by producer Paul Rothchild, and after adding lead guitarist Michael Bloomfield, they signed to Elektra and recorded several sessions for a debut album, the results of which were later scrapped.
		At first, there was friction between Butterfield and Bloomfield, since the harmonica man patterned his bandleading style after taskmasters like Howlin' Wolf and Little Walter; after a few months, though, their respect for each other's musical skills won out, and they began sitting in together at blues clubs around the city.
		Guitarist Amos Garrett and drummer Chris Parker were the first to join, and with folk duo Geoff and Maria Muldaur in tow, the band was initially fleshed out by organist Merl Saunders and bassist John Kahn, both from San Francisco.

	Michael Bloomfield Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Michael Bloomfield was the first American guitar hero to emerge in the sixties, the first to stand up beside such noted English players as Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck.
		Apparently Bloomfield wanted no part of it, and he more or less withdrew from the scene, surfacing from time to time with miscellaneous neighborhood groups to do sporadic album projects.
		On "King Pin" Bloomfield experimented with overdubbing a lead solo on top of a rudimentary bass riff, his guitar is better than the vocals by some distance.

		Guitarist Michael Bloomfield, however, is uniformly brilliant and his graceful blues virtuosity is by itself well worth the price of admission.
		Bloomfield and the group are joined on B.B. King's "It's My Own Fault" by a then-unknown Johnny Winter and things get really interesting.
		Bloomfield was an extremely gifted guitarist that dedicated excessive time to drugs and alcohol and who died at the young age of 37 as a result.

		The Electric Flag was the brainchild of guitarist Michael Bloomfield, who had made his name in 1965-66 as a member of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band as well as playing on some of Bob Dylan’s more notable records.
		Before the group could build any momentum off of the album and the reviews, however, the band began falling apart—with so many different musical influences, striking a balance of personalities and interests was essential, and that had been lost in the year they’d spent together.
		By 1969 The Electric Flag was history, though they were briefly resurrected by Bloomfield, Goldberg, and Gravenites in 1974, for a single album and a follow-up tour.

		Although Bloomfield is nowhere featured, the "And This Is Maxwell Street" tapes include some of the earliest known recordings of Mike Bloomfield, who would have been about 21 at the time they were made in 1963.
		Gordon Quinn, who did the sound work on the film, recalls that Bloomfield was playing with Robert Nighthawk and John Lee Granderson on "Dust My Broom" in And This is Free, and that filmmaker Mike Shea intentionally kept him off-camera.
		The photo of Bloomfield above is one from a single roll of surviving Ektachrome slides of Bloomfield playing at Mike Shea's Huron Street Studio in Chicago in late 1963 with Norman Mayall on drums (later of Sopwith Camel fame) and Mike "Gap" Johnson playing second guitar.

		More important was a pair of albums that Kooper cut with his longtime friend, guitarist Michael Bloomfield.
		Those records, Super Session, cut with Stephen Stills, and The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper were among Columbia's best-selling LPs of the period; they were the kind of albums that, coupled with The Child Is Father to the Man, helped put Columbia Records on the cutting edge of popular music.

		This was an idea that jazz writer Ralph Gleason suggested: to record an album with guitarist Mike Bloomfield, a young blues and rock musician, who had already established himself with Paul Butterfield's Blues Band and some record dates under his own name.
		Bloomfield is at his best on a kick ass guitar solo with the band's screaming brass section.
		It was 1971, the pit of the Dreadful Decade (1965-75), and Woody Herman was afraid of being thought "out of it." So he enlisted Rock guitarist Michael Bloomfield to augment his band, hoping that the kids would dig it.

		Memorable among these early efforts were the remarkable trio recordings with Little Walter on harmonica and Crawford on bass in support of his incisive amplified bottleneck guitar: "Louisiana Blues," and "Long Distance Call," dating from 1950 or early '51 are justly praised masterpieces of the postwar blues.
		Waters' regular second guitarist during this period was the empathetic, almost telepathic Jimmy Rogers whose deft, rhythmically unerring playing was unparalleled in the modern blues.
		A member of Waters' working band from the late 1940s, he was not to make his appearance on a Waters record until the end of 1951, the same time pianist Otis Spann was added to the group's lineup for live performances.
