[Dixielandjazz] Marsalis & Clapton

[Beth Schweitzer]

I agree - it's great! But I don't call this music the Blues - I call it
OKOM - dixieland - trad jazz - new orleans jazz, etc. I even spotted a
banjo. But if they want to call it the Blues to get more listeners,
that's fine with me :-)

Louis Lince posted the link to Marsalis and Clapton adding that it was 
magnificent and then stating that a lot of listmates will hate it.

Maybe so Louis, but I'm with you. The music evolves. For a partial 
clip of "Ice Cream" with Eric Clapton on the vocal, see:

Then hear the other clips that surround the videos. Excellent 
musicianship, excellent attitudes anda some swinging music. What's not 
to like?
