Marsalis and Clapton: Rock and Roll

Wynton Marsalis once seemed disappointed that jazz trumpeter Miles Davis "decided to go into rock," but evidently Marsalis has changed his mind, since he's decided to tour with Eric Clapton.  It would be nice to hear them kick it on "White Room":

Or, perhaps somewhat more likely, since the gig is being advertised as a blues session, they might rock out on "Crossroads":

But probably they'll mainly stick to promoting Clapton's recent album, which includes a cameo appearance by the trumpeter.  Marsalis has certainly come a long way from the Hummel Trumpet Concerto:

...and his Linus and Lucy tribute, "Joe Cool's Blues":

... and then there's those concerts with Willie Nelson:

'course, Marsalis probably doesn't approve of some of Willie Nelson's hobbies.
