Product Description
Album Description
New York City's premier jazz venue got the blues last April when Wynton Marsalis and Eric Clapton performed together in Rose Theater at Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz At Lincoln Center for two sold-out shows dedicated to vintage blues. The extraordinary collaboration, billed as Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play The Blues, paired these musical virtuosos with members of the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra as they brought to life a repertoire of songs selected by Clapton and arranged by Marsalis. Reprise Records captures the magic of these unprecendented shows from earlier this year on CD, and as a CD/DVD combo, that both feature selections taken from the two public concerts (April 8-9), as well as special performance of Jazz At Lincoln Center's annual gala (April 7).
Album Description
2011 live collaboration between guitar legend Eric Clapton and Jazz great Wynton Marsalis.. The duo performed together in Rose Theater at Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center for two sold-out shows dedicated to vintage Blues. The extraordinary collaboration, billed as Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play the Blues, paired these musical virtuosos with members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra as they brought to life a repertoire of songs selected by Clapton and arranged by Marsalis. The band nimbly navigated a diverse set list that touched on different styles, from the four-on-the-floor swing of Louis Armstrong's "Ice Cream" and the southern slow-drag of W.C. Handy's "Joe Turner's Blues" to the traveling blues of "Joliet Bound" and the boogie-woogie jump of "Kidman Blues."

Clapton must have had fun with this crowd of outstanding musicians! The DVD is great to watch, and some New Orleans jazz is always a blast to hear.

If you appreciate the Blues . . . be ready to be exposed to the many expressions of it's roots. The musicians reunited by Mr. Marsalis and Mr. Clapton for this dvd are excellent. The more I view this dvd the more I appreciate its content. The arrangements made by Mr. Marsalis are to be earmarked as orchestration references. Thank you Mr. Marsalis and Thank you Mr. Clapton. Have a good day. cheers, robert r.

This review is from: Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play The Blues (CD + DVD) (Audio CD)
As Marsalis says of Clapton in the liner notes, "It takes great courage to come to New York and learn 12 new arrangements in three days, front a band that you've never played with in a form of music you don't normally play, play three concerts, and sing almost all of the material. Eric did this flawlessly ..."I played it for the first time yesterday and what came across was the enormous excitement that radiated from these musicians during this special gig and the triumph that they felt at the end. They knew they had created something extraordinary. This makes it exhilarating to listen to. The sound quality is excellent. It doesn't matter if you are more of a jazz lover or a blues fan or if you have never listened to either, the quality of musicianship stands above prejudices of genre. I stand in awe of the achievement and hope they reunite because one recording of their combined sound is hardly enough.
