Just Good Music

Marsalis and Clapton? - Skepticism - frown - how does that work together, where are touch
points where a common denominator?

Den has the sly fox Marsalis settled 20s in bustling New Orleans, in
that bubbling witches' kitchen where a conglomerate of jazz, blues, gospel, rhythm and blues and
Rock'n Roll hinköchelte right.
Brilliant move, because Clapton would - apart from the fact that in principle the Marsalis
Tradition before 1940 feels obliged - only hard bop / Cool or even been free compatible.
And so this concept works surprisingly well, above all there is a hint of patina and
nevertheless it sounds fresh and as unlocked by the liver.
Whether "Ice Cream" where one waits in vain for the use of "Pops" Armstrong whether "Forty-Four"
"Careless Love", and even "Layla" - everything seems to come from a bygone era.
Clear enrichment also, the contribution Taj Mahal`s to "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" and
"Corrine, Corrina"!
According to our Duke blessed there is only "good and bad music!"
This plate is one of the former category!
