From the Dave Sez archive: another set of top-quality Clapton tour rehearsals, this time with Marcus Miller and his band called Legends, formed in 1997 for an eleven-date European Jazz Festival tour (several of which gigs were recorded and are available on request). At the time, Clapton was going through a mental storm and doubting his ability to play anything else but the blues. Marcus shook him up and offered jazz .. and some blues. Included here from the LA rehearsal studios but never played live on the European tour are the only recordings of Marcus on "Layla" and Clapton on guitar and vocals on Miller's "Silver Rain". The ultimate Marcus, Clapton rarity.
Excellent soundboard taken from what appear to be near-final rehearsals for the "Legends" summer 1997 tour of Jazz Festivals.
"An outstanding recording, both in terms of sound quality and playing quality. The Legends summer is one of the few occasions since Cream that EC has played with musicians who can truly be called peers. My own suspicion is that these tracks (the first CD anyway - the second CD sounds more like rehearsals) are from an aborted album (aborted by EC's manager, Roger Forrester, who would never let anyone else share the bill with Eric). An absolute gem." - aLPHONSE gRETZ
