LARRY CARLTON & ROBBEN FORD
LARRY CARLTON & ROBBEN FORD June 13, 2007 | Author: Marcel Yammouni Throughout the 70s when fusion was king, Larry Carlton was one of the busiest session guitarists on the planet. He played on many classic albums by artists as revered as Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Billy Joel and The Doobie Brothers. As a jazz and fusion solo performer his career has been as equally successful netting him three Grammy Awards. Robben Ford also got his start in the same 70s scene playing with LA Express and The Yellowjackets. However Ford chose more of a blues path, making a name for himself with his band The Blue Line. Recently they were both in Australia sharing the stage and playing tracks from their 2006 live release,’Tokyo Bluenote’. AM’s Marcel Yammouni and Juno Roxas tracked the two guitar legends down for a chat. Pic by Edwina Pickles AM: When did you guys first meet?
