Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play The Blues - Live from Jazz at Lincoln Center - Ice Cream

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).

YEEAAHHH..... !!!!!

My father had this on LP by Dutch Swing Collage Band... I was not allowed to play the LP's, because they might get scratched... But sometimes I could not resist to listen to "Ice Cream" when I was alone at home^^ (... This was my only childhood-sin... exept... steeling a wee tiny bit of chocolate out of kitchen when my mother was shopping^^)

I really have fun with this GREAT version :)))

Charlie Parker is important because he shows how the blues SHOULD be played. He had the technique and musicianship to be able to play anything he imagined, and an endlessly creative musical mind with every phrase delivered with passion and soul. 'Parker's Mood' is a good example. Guitar players are posers when they value style over substance and the music suffers. Sure, I like all the guys you mention (except Fruscianti), but if you want the real thing, listen to Bird.

Esto era lo que faltaba: Clapton cantando y tocando jazz. Genial, como todo lo que emprende.

@wer197 Er...you can't just stand up there and say - 'listen to my great vibrato!' You have to play some music...

@deantallhat George Benson can play blues like a mo-fo as well, and he can swing like a bitch. Don't discredit all guitarists

[TintedRedFilms]

@deantallhat Look, I love Bird, but that's kind of a bold statement.There is no way Blues or Jazz SHOULD be played. We don't want to end up like a bunch of classical musicians. ;). My only real problem with a lot of guitarists, is their incessant need to stick ONLY to the blues scale. There are/were a few blues guitarists, however, that rise above that. Stevie Ray Vaughan was an example. That guy used voicings most blues guys don't even know (I hate Frusciante too... he probably doesn't know)

why there is one person that don´t like it¿?¿¿? i think he/she hasn´t got ears
