Regarded as one of the most cultured, accomplished and innovative guitarists of the last forty years, Robben Ford’scredentials as both sideman and solo artist read like a musicians’ Who’s who’.
As a child he played the saxophone and by fourteen had taken up the guitar, playing with his brother’s in the Charles Ford Blues Band. While still a teenager he was hired to play with bluesman Charlie Musselwhite and recorded with Jimmy Witherspoon. Having been a member of jazz fusion band L.A. Express and later The Yellowjackets, the Grammy Award nominee has collaborated with such musical heavyweights as Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, George Harrison, Gregg Allman, Rick Springfield, Little Feat and Kiss.
Fast forward to the early ‘90s and Robben Ford and the Blue Line (bassist Roscoe Beck, drummer Tom Brechtlein and pianist Bill Boublitz) were touring internationally non-stop, playing large venues, festivals and outdoor events. Here they are captured at the Montreux Jazz Festival of 1993, at their very best.
