rok2id, Thanks for that link. That is some smoking New Orleans style jazz. Eric Clapton looks like he's having a great time sitting in with that terrific band ensemble.
Did you know that Clapton's bandmates from the super group Cream, Jack Bruce (bass) and Ginger Baker (drums) have both released a few jazz albums.
I saw a documentary on Ginger Baker in which he states his 3 biggest influences on the drums were Art Blakey, Max Roach, and Elvin Jones.

From Baker's 2014 jazz album "Why?" this is titled "Ginger Spice"

Ginger had spent a long time in Africa in the early 70's and embraced their culture as he was obsessed with their music and the percussion rythm which is evident in the above song.
