In 2012 Eric Clapton came to the Village Vanguard to hear Kurt Rosenwinkel perform with his band, and subsequently invited him to perform at the 2013 Crossroads Guitar Festival – that year held in Madison Square Garden. The invitation was for Kurt to have a 20 minute set with his own band, to invite one special guest (it would be Allan Holdsworth performing Kurt’s “Gamma Band”), and Clapton himself would join Kurt on stage for 2 songs.
This video shows the final song in Kurt’s set – a blues entitled “Big Road Blues” – the other 2 songs that were performed were “Heavenly Bodies” (just Kurt and the group – this song is from the album “Star of Jupiter”) + Kurt’s arrangement of “If I Should Lose You” (from “Deep Song”) with a new vocal arrangement by Clapton. Also joining them on stage were: Aaron Parks (pia), Pete Rende (Hammond B3), Reuben Rogers (b) & Obed Calvaire (dr).
