Larry早前已經來港表演過,今次則繼續帶同兒子同來.表演在今晚舉行

。(2月5日)

這次合作是TOTO樂隊的成員Steven Lukather。Steven Lukather是相

當出色的錄音室樂手,他曾經參加過 Boz Scaggs 、Olivia Newton-

John的專輯。

印象中,TOTO樂隊的成員 Simon Philips曾經來港搞clinic tour,而

Steven Lukather則沒來過.

Toto樂隊曾經有一個故事,是當年唱片得到了6項Grammy大獎, 但是發

現沒有團員的照片來報導.因為Toto的成員就是洛杉磯的錄音室樂手,

唱片原屬玩票性質。而TOTO是在2008年樂團解散，今年五月,樂隊將會

重組並開始世界巡迴表演,據知唱片已經接近完成。

二人還有一張Live Blu-ray已推出

「

If you’re not one of the lucky fans who applauded the long-

awaited pairing of Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather - Larry,

who was named guitarist of the year so often that the title

of “player emeritus” was created for him alone, and Steve

(formerly of Toto), a flamboyant “guitar hero” in his own

right - this Blu-ray will blow away your reticence. The 2001

get-together of these two masters at their creative peak was

an unforgettable experience fuelled by mutual love and

respect, freedom of inspiration and the sheer pleasure of

playing. Two musicians who have been friends for thirty years

toasting each other between numbers on stage at the New

Morning: could there be a better reminder that blues and rock

find the main source of their energy in the complicity

between musicians? Before you shove the disc into the player,

a bit of friendly advice: fasten your seat-belts!
