There’ll be a guest appearance by bluesman Taj Mahal, and look out for some interesting choices in the band lineup for Marsalis and Clapton, such as Jonathan Batiste on piano, who of late joined Trombone Shorty and Dr. John on stage at BAM’s celebration of New Orleans music.

Tickets are $65-$245 available via the Jazz at Lincoln Center website, at the box office (at the ground level of the Time Warner Building at Broadway and 60th Street) and by calling CenterCharge at 212-721-6500.
