Wynton Marsalis and Eric Clapton - Play The Blues - Live From Jazz at Lincoln Center

Eric Clapton and Wynton Marsalis will be releasing a live album/DVD from their “Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play The Blues” concert series this past April. Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play The Blues – Live From Jazz At Lincoln Center, will be released on September 13 as both a CD and CD/DVD package.
The DVD will also feature a bonus performance of the classic Stagger Lee from legendary bluesman Taj Mahal’s opening solo set.

Marsalis, Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center and nine-time Grammy Award winner, writes about his collaboration with Clapton, a 19-time Grammy recipient, in the album’s liner notes: “…we wanted these concerts to sound like people playing music they know and love, not like a project.”
