Charles Lloyd & The Marvels - Tone Poem
Charles Lloyd (Saxophone), Bill Frisell (Electric Guitar), Greg Leisz (Steel Guitar), Eric Harland (Drums) and Rueben Rogers (Bass).

The life in 12 bars illustrates the wonderful EC catalogue. Yardbirds, Mayall. Cream,Blind Faith. Derek, Delaney and that’s before we get to the solo work. Plus of course his contributions to other artists projects.
