Honestly, how good was this?!

[Eric Clapton @EricClapton]

In September of 2011, Eric and @wyntonmarsalis released their collaboration album, 'Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton – Play The Blues - Live From Jazz At Lincoln Center,' which was recorded in April of that year at New York City's Jazz at Lincoln Center (@jazzdotorg). @tajmahalblues was featured for two of the songs on the record, including this performance of “Just A Closer Walk With Thee.”

Tonight I gladly welcomed the @RoyalAlbertHall into my back kitchen via @BBCRadio3

“The Jamesian imagery certainly came out in the music, and I felt a resoance with my own mood as I sat alone, tucking into my microwaved fare.”

So easy to forget the other star of the show (which I have done here). @mihohazama who so marvellously conducted the BBC concert orchestra!

We are back recording for 2025! Here is a preview of the New Orleans themed piano piece which will open the OSLU Was Here album (yes, we are finally going to complete it this year!). This piece is entitled “The Academic”, and is a hat-tip to both Dr John, and Professor Longhair!

Staff meeting. Great to catch up with our colleagues, Diane and Charlie. (Steak and Champagne, respectively.)

RIP DAVID SANBORN

Sad to learn of the passing of American alto saxophonist, David Sanborn.

Bowie fans will know him best for his sublime work on Young Americans and David Live, he also played flute on the latter.

The sad news was posted on his social pages in the last hour...

It is with sad and heavy hearts that we convey to you the loss of internationally renowned, 6 time Grammy Award-winning, saxophonist, David Sanborn. Mr. Sanborn passed Sunday afternoon, May 12th, after an extended battle with prostate cancer with complications.

Mr. Sanborn had been dealing with prostate cancer since 2018, but had been able to maintain his normal schedule of concerts until just recently. Indeed he already had concerts scheduled into 2025.

David Sanborn was a seminal figure in contemporary pop and jazz music. It has been said that he “put the saxophone back into Rock ’n Roll.”

The last image here was posted by David Sanborn back in 2020, along with this caption: “The last time Bowie and I were together...dinner in Montreux, Switzerland, July 2002.”

RIP David S… you’ll be remembered for the legend you are 🎷

Nearly all of the arena's 11,000 seats look to have been sold, yet it would go on to feel like an incredibly intimate gig
