- After some talking to the audience by Clapton, which is very rare, the band play a fantastic New Orleans version of Clapton's most famous song.
Recorded April 2011, Jazz at Lincoln Center, New York City. - Hudba
Clapton is so right in his speech lmao i would shit my pants if i was playing with wynton marsalis
Papa bue
Yea, that would be intense.
Duas grandes feras... Maravilha.. Inesquecível.. Que harmonia..excelente.
The beauty of this tune is that it's always beautiful no matter if it's rock, jazz, class or ...
....ska
Rap
Something refined.....beyond......with God
No "Layla" compares to this. I've been coming back to it for years.
I visit often.
The definitive, and most underrated version.
I completely agree... What 2 monsters..... Just wonderful
Agree
großartig.
The best part of this video is Eric Clapton's introduction.
Humble defined!
His affection, appreciation, and respect, for his fellow musicians, sharing the stage, is very heart warming.
An example of humbleness all men would benefit from with a simple attempt to emulate.
And of course the momentary magical marriage of a Jazz Legiond and a Blues Master!
WOW!
Hugs from NorCal.
Ah oui c'est ÉBLOUISSANT . La Reconnaissance et la Gratitude sont dans les 2 camps. Mais évidemment Sir Clapton reste toujours aussi humble , comme vous dites " Un exemple" Le Musicien est Grand , et l'Homme est Grand aussi ❤
Great take! Slow Hand has spent his career helping other talented musicians and performers receive their due. He covered "I Shot the Sheriff" and it became a hit. During the tour, he brought Bob Marley and the Wailers with him, introducing America and the world to Marley and reggae.
How great to hear Eric talk to the audience so much. Usually very quiet when he's up on stage. Wonderful tributes to the band.
Eric was in a fantastic mood.
Video starts a little after 03:00
ur welcome
Maravilloso concierto!
This is one of the coolest things I've ever heard! Wynton & Eric are monsters on their own, but together!?!? Wow!!!!
Monsters on their own...... Eric : "Marsalis, a genius and a giant"....... Amen !!
I so agree. It was an amazing gift to discover this version. Delicious
Have you listened to Peter Frampton and ec, doing George Harrison's While my guitar gently weeps? Really strong, in the moment riffs between them. Honest, poignant. Clapton seems reserved and apprehensive, but Frampton's unabashed hero worship is irrisistable. Your thoughts?
@@debbaker9290 Thank you so much for the suggestion. Frampton's joy is so contagious he had EC smiling at the end. Beautiful emotional moment for them. It's not about the performance it is all about the emotional joy shared on stage.
Oui 2 géants aussi raffiné l'un que l'autre dans leur Art. Du pur régal, des vrais musiciens !!!!!
when wynston looks at clapton play, that's humility at its finest.
Wynston always shows great admiration and respect for his team members. He's in the position where he can mostly choose his collaborators:)
I love this treatment of Layla. It gives the music room to breathe and spread out like a warm blanket, to wander down a few backstreets and back again. And, as someone else said below, it shows you Clapton's range and flexibility as a musician. Of course, Wynton Marsalis and the other guys are all master's of their craft, as well, and they all bring their superb musicianship to the party. A feast for the ears and the soul. Oh, and a splendid speech by Clapton at the beginning, as well.
I feel like Wynton told Clapton beforehand to sing this song as if everything that had led up to it happened just before he took the stage. I haven’t heard this level of pain in his voice since the original. Almost brings a tear to your eye.
The intro is on a whole nother level.
I love that “to wander down a few backstreets and back again” which is so true of both music and humor. Like a comedian who wanders down some hilarious rabbit hole, and 20 minutes later times it all back together to the initial bit, with a lovely bow and presents it to the audience. Jazz is especially proficient at this. Meander, like a marriage that’s so comfortable, you know each other’s strengths so well, and play to them, let the weaknesses wander away, and always come back stronger and better.
To hear EC and Wynton is such a treat. Sounds effortless and seamless. The playing is so masterful, you kind of forget how brilliant these guys all are. 💕
Eric Clapton has only gotten better and more refined as he ages. He has become very grateful and humble for his abilities and success . We need more people in the world like him.
Eric's speech as the start, paying homage to jazz and Wynton and all of the guys he's with on stage is CLASSIC!
Eric never stops playing or leaving the blues - he just learns how it fits into jazz...brilliant..
Never thought such a classic could be bettered, this is awesome and feel really emotional listening to it, WOW !
Man, the pain in Clapton's voice... gorgeous.
Haven’t heard that since the original.
Absolutely unreal, Layla as a New Orleans funeral dirge. Wonderful, amazing, fantastic, PFM
Yes! Yes!
You got to drink some poison
Class act; thank you Wynton, Eric, and the whole band.
This was really a great fusion of genres turning a Clapton classic into something fresh and almost new..
Everyone made their instruments go beyond playing music on this version of Layla.. they made them speak.
Eric, always with the perfect tone....still singing that one with emotion.
Marsalis and crew...unbelievable!
Wynton Marsalis is a goddamn boss! Much respect to Mr. Clapton too.
Love him
You got to admire Clapton for trying new things. Here he is, pushing 70 with nothing to prove to anybody still putting himself out there experimenting with new things and challenging himself. Instead of being like The Stones playing the same version of "Satisfaction" for 40+ years, Clapton is still learning and willing to dip into different genres. A great role model for young musicians (except for the drug abuse in his earlier years)
Agree completely, and to add on:
Clapton is not only playing jazz, he is playing jazz WITH WYNTON MARSALIS. That’s like signing up for an AP course. Wynton’s Jazz is 1920s NOLA Dixieland. Very antiquated and very specific. Heck, Sir Eric had to change guitars completely! But commit he did, and what an incredible album (and specifically this version of Layla) we have to show for it!
Agreed on drugs as well, but I think we can all admire his ongoing and lengthy period of sobriety since then.
@@baxatakbaxatak2014 Not to mention the Crossroads Centre, founded by Eric and the Crossroads Guitar Festivals he organized, which benefit the Centre. Let's agree to forgive and forget his drug abuse for once and for all, o.k. ? Thank you.
@@dietvandermaden4615 Forgive? Oh, yeah! That's one of the hardest and most beneficial things a human can do. Forget? NO! The lessons learned must not be forgotten. Crossroads is a kick-ass tune and everything that contributed it should be remembered and learned from. The consequences are also useful teaching tools. Forgiveness? Oh, yes, yes, yes! Forget? No, thank you!
@@BillB23 It was only said "by way of speaking" , it 's an expression, let's forgive and forget...... That usually refers to matters that will never be forgotten.......You just mean to say you won't bring it up again.
Nothing wrong with the Stones and the likes playing their sound particuly which has been admired for the last 60 years from more audience that YOU can imagine, really how can you say that.....
For one of the finest pure blues players, and a recognised rock god, to speak that humbly is something you’ll rarely see again.
I am a fan of both gentlemen, but I would've never had thought to have them both together. This is simply FANTASTIC. My thanks goes out those who placed this online. My ❤️ is filled with joy. 🎵🎺🎵🎺🎵🎺🎵🎺🎵🎺🎵🎺🎵🎺🎵🎺🎵🎺🎵🎺
its amazing!!! sad that jazz is losing popularity. what i like about it is that it seems like the most versatile to make any sound and produce any emotion and always sound new.
......" to play alongside the wonderful Wynton Marsalis, who is a genius and a giant....." Eric says it all !
been following him since he very young in new orleans. his father was the musical genius.
Love the split screen while Eric is doing his solo and the appreciation Wynton shows. Two greats digging each other's talent and mastery. Fabulous recording. Thank you for sharing it.
Eric Clapton: The language of Jazz is so sophisticated...
The Drummer: 2:59
I have never seen a song with 3 versions in which i loved all of them.Long Live Clapton
Mr. Clapton has graciously down played his contribution to music by way of his original melodies and lyrics which do stand the test of time. Also this is the first time I've ever seen him playing what looks like a Gibson 335 . Simple another magical moment as Wynton offers his collaborations with Rock artist like Clapton & Sting .
3-25-2020 coronavirus lockdown playlist THANK YOU!!!!!
Outstanding blend of Blues, Swing & Jazz. Hats off to Wynton and Eric for a great rendition of Layla.
I love this New Orleans version of one of Eric Clapton best tunes. He is amazing!
He already introduced me to Blues music, he introduced Reggae music to many who wouldn't have known who Bob Marley was otherwise, now he's going to introduce me and many others to this wonderful Jazz music. If Eric isn't the most influential musician in the world, I don't know who is.
that was cool when it started swinging during Wynton's solo
Just showed how the whole band could turn on a dime - collective improvisation at its finest!
@@Ubu987 Dollars to donuts that was on the spot improv. Completely agree.
I was sat in the audience to the left of clapton during unplugged. We felt so exited to hear 'that' layla for the first time and played so well. one take was all that was needed. when I heard this version I actually realised (for the first time) that it is a blues song. simple lyrcs with such depth and honesty. Clapton commits much more on this version than on U.P. awesome
How humble the "Great" Mr. Clapton" can be. What a beautiful soul Mr. Clapton is.
yeah, I've always admired the man, behind the artist
He's a good person.
Except when fucking his best mate Mr George Harrison's missus was OK???....God bless you George!!.
L love him and he was the only one who truly knew what he was doing back in the day
if i had not read the comments, i would have written the same.
The BEST part of this video is Eric Clapton's introduction to the song.
To witness such heart felt humilty, from an iconic blues master, is incredibly inspiring.
That all of us, men, could learn such an emulating worthy character trait..........
Oh what a world we could have.
Hugs.
This is an unbelievable combination. Layla interpreted in NO fashion, with the magic fingers from Eric and Wynton. Awesome
It's a masterpiece of already a masterpiece.
Wonderful!
Eric can play with anyone, jazz, rock, folk, country, punk and always brings his special talent to just make great musical moments. If you are a real Clapton fan then you should watch this.
That wasn't just anyone he was playing with. Wyton and the other players from JALC are some of the finest jazz players in the world. Clapton was in very good company.
Jeff Bibik So can Wynton
not many people do
Jeff Bibik : _ Really? He's quite limited just like most other "rock" musicians. That said, I admire his humility and bravery.
I love when Eric uses Gibson's guitars, and I'm a strat guy!
same here
Yeah he’s one of the more famous Les Paul sunburst guys so it’s always nice to hear him Bucker Up.
I was never comfortable with a 335 except for vintage ones which I can’t afford!
Rob M i feel you man, same as me 😂
This is extraordinary. We're all lucky to be alive during Clapton's life, and even more so the collaboration of wynton and Clapton.
This is absolutely the greatest thing to have blessed my ears
Supreme rendition indeed. Eric is the man who made me fall in love with music. I loved this beyond any limits.
Incredibly eloquent speech by Clapton.
John Miller Elton John and moly Cyrus
John Miller Absolutely.

THESE GUYS ARE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS........LOVE THAT CLARINET WHAT A SWEET MELLOW SOUND THAT ONLY A WOODEN REED CAN MAKE.............
Great version of this song....two giants of music coming together, turning out a masterpiece.
What soulful version... true music ever...
"Jazz is a great blues band that fell down the stairs."
🤎🎶 Magistral🎶🤎 Et toujours aussi élégant ,gracieux et reconnaissant Mister Clapton. Unique personnage 🤎🎶🤎 L'Honneur et la Gratitude étaient dans les 2 camps!! 🌺🌺
This is what jazz musicians are all about - respect for the talent of another. You can see it on their faces. Each raises the bar to inspire the rest. To them there’s always another perspective to view from and explore. This version raised the hair on my arms. I ordered the DVD. A brilliant idea from bassist Carlos Henriquez. Carlos, Dan Nimmer (P), Ali Jackson (D) in this band, were with Wynton @ Newport RI in August and I recorded them on that beautiful August day and uploaded 2 videos.
Increíble versión de Layla... grande Clapton uno de los mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos... Mano Lenta! eres genial
one of the best versions of the song I have ever heard
one of the best "new" pieces I have seen or heard in a long time. It IS a fabulous collaboration. Wish I had been in the audience!
Damn, I wasn't expecting that to be anywhere near as good as t was.
alwaysright10000 I wasn’t expecting it to be anywhere near as bad as it was.
I wasn’t expecting anything at all.
Well of course Paula sitting on her posterior some place has the intellect to judge two of the most skilled muscians on the planet in their fields.
Clapton is such a generous musician.
Interesting take... chaotic fusion, straight jazz, a bit of N.O. broth, dash of dix, blues, and rock. Music taken to the edge of definition. Love it.
you're right!
SugahShy jonmy winter
Let’s all take a minute to appreciate that Clapton committed to jazz with Wynton. That’s like not only signing up for a class you know little about, but signing up for the AP Honors course.
Wynton's solo is everything that's good--rhythm, note choice, dynamics...everything.
Yes.
Wynton & Eric, dos grandes conservando la tradición de los blues en el auténtico estilo New Orleans.
Once again raising the bar another level and showing how powerful his jingley stuff really is. Regardless of the collaberation or the style of music, EC always seems to fit in like the remaining piece of the puzzle. Fabulous set list in which any song can eventually be your favorite.
awesome to see someone like Clapton whose known around the globe for his tunes so humble and respectful toward other artists.
I saw this special one afternoon on PBS. After it was over I went to the music store and bought the cd.just for this song..wound up truly enjoying the entire cd
Damn, that was beautiful!!!!
Professional musicians having fun.
Eric Clapton certainly holds his own with the greats. That guitar solo was fantastic. I wish I were there.
It is his song...
This had to be a remarkable concert to attend. Imagine seeing the tickets and purchasing them only to get there and have the concert be more than u could imagine.
The more I hear Wynton Marsalis play the more I realise that other people's criticisms of his music simply aren't true. That was one of the most heartfelt yet refined trumpet solos I have ever heard, the emotional depth and sincerity of those few phrases almost made me want to weep
Check out his Baroque duets with opera star, Kathleen Battle
Nay sayers be sayin nay .... but the thing is; it's Eric's song, and he can roll it out any dang way he wants to. Plus, he gets to fly with the musical version of the Navy's Blue Angels that night.
Amen.
Very well put!
Very well said ♥️
that clarinet solo!!!
??? What clarinet solo?
yes He definitely took that one
What all around great humbleness from such great musicians. For Wynton to have a great respect for Clapton and for clapton to supercede that admiration is what makes great music.
Like a fine wine he just gets better and better + what a line up of great musicians.
Love the speech Clapton gave.....eloquent and humble. Absolutely beautiful music!!!!!!!
Amen, amen, Eric!
Wowwwwwwwwww... Luvvvvvvv it!!!
2 of my all-time favorite artists paired together to create a wonderful reprise of "Layla."
Ec-cellente!
Such a great song. “Layla” deserves a big sound. Very “beautiful and extraordinary”. So lovely🦆
When Wynton kicks in...
I love this concert.
Unbelievably beautiful.
Wow!!!!! That`s quite fantastic. Clapton changes Rock into Jazz and it even sounds incredible!!!!!
Rock is just blues sped up. Jazz takes music apart and puts it together again a little differently.
Music in its purest form. Such expression.
But a bit too many notes for the less than 30 years of age.
This is outstanding. Thank god I stumbled on it here. Can't imagine never having gotten to hear it.
Robert Stone as me if pretty late but never too late!
heard a pbs radio intro to the release of the album.. brilliant sound.. have been listening to the album since it's debut I highly recommend you find the album .. it's wonderful..
Man that's some of the sweetest sounds I ever heard!
Preceded by a most thoughtful and articulate introduction by EC (and he always is, I have no idea why he's reluctant to speak onstage), this epochal performance of his signature tune, this encapsulization of American Music led by one of its greatest exponents (a Brit, no less) represents version #4 for him...
...which means that this tune has now become, for him, what "All, Or Nothing At All" became for Sinatra.
Hearing Marsalis and Clapton on the same stage is a treat: Getting to watch this is a privilege.
(EC, to his credit, takes a lot of vocal risks and liberties here, and he succeeds at all of them.)
Addendum, two years later:
Seeing Clapton play the King's signature axe, an ES-335, in this setting, is not only an unexpected pleasure, it is really, really RIGHT.
LOVE Clapton! Just like him to keep challenging himself as an artist and musician. Regardless his legend, for him to sit in with these relatively young Jazzers is a delight! That incident with him meeting Hendrix for the first time-- the hard way, that is, is still funny as all get out!
This is great. And you know when it's a good piece of music when you can play it in any genre'!
That is so cool...love this incarnation of this classic song.
the best version of this tune I've heard. gorgeous solo by Wynton.
I grew up with his music, so thank him for it!
He really is a pilgrim of the blues and Thumbs UP for EC! :D
I love jazz and blues and these two men exemplify the medium very well.
It is amazing to me that great musicians respect and love each others genius.
wonderful Eric wonderful, the great Wynton Marsalis and his fantastic
musicians just magical
The absolute.greatest guitarist and trumpeter living today! PERIOD!
Heh! Bob, what about his friend Jeff Beck?
will never understand how someone quite as good as EC can be so unbelievably humble!!!!! never ceases to amaze!!!
I love this version! I like music, and when it is played properly, I can put aside the expectations of what I have heard of it before, this was a brilliant collaboration!
9:53 that trombone solo is so clean though
Guy looks like Will Smith, but he kills his moment. Eric was in the tough chair that night.
AMAZING!!! Thanks Wynton for this arrangement 😍. Incredible musicians. It’s such a great job to keep this art alive into the XXI century. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Grace, elegance, passion and gift. Not to mention hard work. Thank you Wynton, Eric and the guys.
I love this rendition!
Fantastica apresentação de ERIC CLAPTON e WYNTON MARSALIS, acompanhados por uma banda de New Orleans, numa versão "bluseira " desta linda canção no Jazz at Lincoln Center em Abril de 2011 em New York City.
Cley Cormack.- Rio de Janeiro,Brasil 22/04/2014.
Thank you 92 Freek, for video and posting. Fantastic.
Great speech by Mr. Clapton and I love this version of Layla and especially the Trumpet.
Seldomly have I seen a bunch of talented guys have so much fun making music! Man, this is good for the soul! Better than a bottle of bourbon!
damn this good ! Left me a bit hungry for some New Orleans style music.
You can find a lot on CZcams.
WOW is right! Have never heard this & found it by accident but MAN.....Unbelievable. Big fan of both of these men but truly never expected this. Really, really nice.
Kudos! and thanks for posting!!
Cindy Evans you should hear the whole disc!🎹🎼🎸🪕🎺🎷🎻🥁
At some point you have to witness this... It's one of the rarest things to see El speak, and it's followed by one of the greatest interpretations of one of his greatest songs... humility and artistry rolled into one. YOU. ARE. LEGEND
Gives me Goosebumps! Love that New Orleans sounds!!
