  Bio
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.

 Mike Bloomfield Don't Say That I Ain't Your Man! Essential Blues, 1964-1969 CD
Here's the amazing thing the first five cuts here reveal: Bloomfield, idolized as a walking encyclopedia of Chicago guitar greats from the moment he came to recognition with the Butterfield Blues Band, already had a remarkably developed style when these previously unreleased demos were cut for Columbia in 1964.
This compilation offers an overview of the years when Bloomfield was in the national spotlight, a bona fide guitar hero (and happily, the bias here is towards the blues cuts).
This is by far one of the greatest guitar players the usa has ever had.To have songs from his frist recording to his last are a must for all blues & rock fans alike.

  Live At The Old Waldorf - Mike Bloomfield, Music Downloads - Online
Recorded live in 1976 and 1977 by producer Norman Dayron at the Old Waldorf nightclub on Bloomfield's home turf in San Francisco with a hand-picked band, the results are startling to say the least.
Bloomfield plays with assurance and authority throughout, exploring new ideas with each new chorus from his guitar, arguably at his best since his early Butterfield/Dylan days.
Bloomfield was never much of a singer, and everybody from old pal Nick Gravenites to bassist Roger Troy to drummer Bob Jones end up handling all the vocals on this disc.

  Mike Bloomfield
Uncomfortable with the reverential treatment afforded a guitar hero, Bloomfield tended to shy away from the spotlight after spending just a few years in it; he maintained a lower-visibility career during the '70s due to his distaste for fame and his worsening drug problems, which claimed his life in 1981.
Later, in 1965, Bloomfield was recruited for Bob Dylan's new electrified backing band; he was a prominent presence on the groundbreaking classic Highway 61 Revisited and he was also part of Dylan's epochal plugged-in performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
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).

 NewBeats: Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It was a blues supergroup of sorts: keyboardist Al Kooper formerly of Blood Sweat and Tears, guitarist Mike Bloomfield late of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the Electric Flag, and guitarist Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield fame.
It should be prefaced, however that Bloomfield and Stills were not playing guitar together at the same time in teh same studio; Bloomfield recorded his parts and left, leaving Kooper to recruit Stills to finish the rest of the sessions.
Bloomfield particularly shine here by chiming in with a brilliant run here and there like "One Way Out," and his dueling with Kooper on "Please" is worth the price of admission.

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.

 Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
- This is a damn good improvisational rock and blues album, basically an Al Kooper album with Mike Bloomfield featured on side one, playing stinging blues guitar (far ahead of his contributions on Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited) and adding jazzy weirdness to "Her Holy Modal Majesty," which also features an excellent keyboard solo from Kooper.
Crosby was so dysfunctional that he didn't write one of his two contributions, and it sounds like he doesn't even sing harmony most of the time, with keyboardist Mike Finnigan and ex-Eagle Tim Schmit taking his place.
The no-name musicians are all competent - Mike Finnigan is the sole long-time studio crony, and he's also the only real bummer, ruining one song with an excruciating vocal.

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. 
Although Super Session was the most successful recording of his career, Bloomfield considered it to be a scam, more of an excuse to sell records than a pursuit of musical goals.

 MIKE BLOOMFIELD   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It is maddeningly frustrating to the fans of the guitar genius Mike Bloomfield (and I am certainly a card carrying member of that fraternity) that there is so little recorded documentation of his brilliance on the market.
Bloomfield always had a touch of stage fright, and seldom toured.
On this release, though, his friends don’t come through, with the exception of the tracks on which Naftalin plays and Gravenites sings (Butterfield and Bishop are not on the record).

Considering the late, great Michael Bloomfield's rather sparse and sometimes erratic output, the high quality of this excellent live album came as a pleasant surprise to me.
Bloomfield's playing on that song is simply magnificent, clear and inspired.
But Bloomfield's guitar is something to behold almost all the way through, and even though none of the Old Waldorf tracks match the phenomenal, fiery lead guitar on "Sweet Little Angel", the best moments here really do validate Mike Bloomfield's reputation as one of the greatest white blues guitarist of the 60s and 70s.

Bloomfield's best straight-ahead blues is "Albert's Shuffle," and the beauty and creative lyricism (as well as the speed) of his jazz improvisation on "His Holy Modal Majesty" is breathtaking--it absolutely must be heard to be believed.
It's such a dirty rotten shame that this didn't turn out to be Bloomfield's first solo album, as Kooper had planned it.
Mike Bloomfield was a legend and this album shows him in great form.
