Editor's Note
Switzerland's legendary Montreux Jazz Festival has been host to countless once-in-a-lifetime performances since its 1967 inception, but none more thrilling than the 1997 collaboration between guitarist Eric Clapton, bassist Marcus Miller, drummer Steve Gadd, pianist Joe Sample, and saxophonist David Sanborn. Clapton brought his deeply felt blues-rock influence to the quartet's sophisticated jazz stylings for an amazing reinvention of classics such as "Full House," "Groovin'," and "Shreveport Stomp," as well as a haunting acoustic version of "Layla."
