Description:
The pairings of Steve Stills with Cream bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Buddy Miles, plus Eric Clapton with bluesman Buddy Guy and jazz saxophonist Roland Kirk, are the attraction of this so-called "last great jam of the '60s," recorded in '69 (we're not told where). Results are mixed. Stills is negligible, but sparks fly when Kirk and Guy (who thoroughly outclasses Clapton) are onstage, especially together for "Kansas City"; and the veteran, understated Modern Jazz Quartet (then improbably signed to the Beatles' Apple label) are marvelous. But the whole enterprise is torpedoed by audio that sounds like an ancient, very scratched record album coming through the 2-inch speaker in a '62 VW Beetle (the grainy video is precious little better, and the film editing is atrocious). Hard to imagine any of the participants being thrilled that this dubious document is seeing the light of day. --Sam Graham
