Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play The Blues
Live from Jazz at Lincoln Center
Released September 13, 2011
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. The event also included a special appearance by Taj Mahal. Reprise Records captures the magic of these unprecedented 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 a special performance for Jazz at Lincoln Center's annual gala (April 7).

I can hardly wait for Wynton's duets with Lady GaGa.
Clapton is a pair of "Brown Shoes" on that proverbial tuxedo in this setting.
Some people will stick anything in their ears.
