An outstanding night of musicianship
by RAGtimeblues on 3/17/13Shank Hall - MilwaukeeI have been a fan of Cream and all of the iterations of bands of Clapton, Bruce, and Baker for 40+ years. It was a very rewarding experience to listen to three very capable musicians, clearly influenced by these three giants, play with respect and focus. They do not try to recreate a not-for note, beat for beat sound. They play the "sound" of Cream with amazing success but with enough humor and self effacement to keep it real. Kofi is a truly outstanding drummer and plays a very capable tribute to his father, as does Malcolm to Jack and Godfrey simply masters the technique of Clapton. We were blown away by the apparent chemistry of the band and I think its because its not for the long haul. Its a moment in time and its clear they are enjoying what they are doing. Final impressions? Malcolm and Godfrey rock and Kofi absolutely nails it. Milwaukee did not show up like they should have but it was a great crowd none-the-less.
