New York City's premier jazz venue got the blues 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 unprecedented shows on CD and a CD/DVD combo that both feature selections taken from the two public concerts, as well a special performance for Jazz at Lincoln Center's annual gala.

La première salle de jazz de New York a eu le blues lorsque Wynton Marsalis et Eric Clapton se sont produits ensemble au Rose Theatre du Frederick P. Rose Hall, siège du Jazz at Lincoln Center pour deux spectacles à guichets fermés consacrés au blues vintage. L'extraordinaire collaboration, présentée sous le nom de Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play the Blues, a associé ces virtuoses de la musique à des membres du Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra pour donner vie à un répertoire de chansons sélectionnées par Clapton et arrangées par Marsalis.

Il più importante locale jazz di New York City ha ospitato il blues lo scorso aprile, quando Wynton Marsalis ed Eric Clapton si sono esibiti insieme a Rose Theater al Frederick P. Rose Hall, sede del Jazz at Lincoln Center per i due, il tutto esaurito per la mostra dedicata al blues vintage. La straordinaria collaborazione, annunciata per Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton che suonano il blues, crea un grandioso lavoro di fusione tra questi virtuosi musicisti con i membri del Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra ché animano un repertorio di brani selezionati da Clapton e arrangiato da Marsalis.
