Play the Blues: Live from Jazz at Lincoln Center is a 2011 live album that captures a rare and inspired collaboration between jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and blues-rock legend Eric Clapton. Recorded over three nights at New York’s Lincoln Center, the album brings together two musical worlds—traditional New Orleans jazz and Delta blues—through a setlist curated by Clapton and arranged by Marsalis.

The performance is steeped in reverence for early 20th-century American music, with the ensemble—including members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra—delivering spirited renditions of classics like “Joe Turner’s Blues,” “Ice Cream,” and “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.” One of the most striking moments is the reimagined version of Clapton’s own “Layla,” transformed into a slow, soulful jazz ballad that highlights the emotional depth of the original while giving it a new stylistic identity.

The chemistry between Marsalis and Clapton is palpable throughout the recording. Marsalis’s precise, expressive trumpet lines complement Clapton’s raw, emotive guitar work, creating a dialogue that bridges genre and generation. Guest appearances by bluesman Taj Mahal add further authenticity and richness to the performance.

More than just a concert, Play the Blues is a celebration of shared musical heritage. It honors the roots of jazz and blues while showcasing the enduring power of collaboration between artists from different traditions. The album was both a critical and commercial success, topping the Billboard Blues Albums chart and earning praise for its warmth, spontaneity, and musicianship.
