Eric Clapton is een van artiesten die aan de wieg van het fenomeen gitaarhelden van de popmuziek stond. Hij valt in de jaren zestig op met zijn virtuoze gitaarspel als lid van The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers en Cream. In 1970 slaat de Brit het solopad in en debuteert in hetzelfde jaar met het album Eric Clapton. Als soloartiest gaat hij hits scoren als "Layla" en "Change the World". Maar meer dan een hitmaker is Clapton een artiest die staat voor een hoogwaardige oeuvre, waarbij hij ondanks diverse muzikale uitstapjes toch altijd weer terugkeert naar zijn eerste liefde: de blues. Ook zijn album The Lady in the Balcony: Lockdown Sessions uit 2021 staat weer in teken van dit genre. Daarnaast is Clapton met zijn unieke gitaarspel ook een voorbeeld voor vele nieuwe generaties muzikanten.

L’incroyable histoire d’un enfant, meurtri par la vie, qui trouvera son salut grâce à l’amour que lui portent ses chiens. Telle est l'histoire de ‘Dogman’, le nouveau film de Luc Besson, présenté en compétition officielle à la Mostra de Venise et au Festival du film américain de Deauville, dont Caleb Landry Jones est la tête d'affiche.

Last year, Clapton hosted and curated the seventh instalment of his Crossroads Guitar Festival on September 23 and 24 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA. It notably marked the event's return after a four-year break, selling out the iconic arena on both days. Once again, Clapton carefully assembled a powerhouse cohort of influential guitarists representing various eras and styles.

Eric Serra is an award-winning French film music composer best known for his work with director Luc Besson on international blockbusters such as The Fifth Element (1997). Born on September 9, 1959, in Saint-Mandé, Île-de-France, he began his musical career during the mid- to late '70s as a guitarist and bassist in collaboration with a range of French pop/rock acts. During the early '80s he was the bassist of French singer/songwriter Jacques Higelin, one of the country's biggest pop/rock stars of the era. Around this same time, he began collaborating with film director Luc Besson, starting with the score of the short film L'Avant Dernier (1981).

This summer sees the Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Eric Clapton’s eponymous first solo album, originally released in August 1970. It is being issued on 4CD and 1LP (standard black) formats and will also be released digitally. The front cover artwork for the LP differs from the 4CD artwork illustrated above. The album will be launched on 9th June with the release of two tracks: After Midnight (Delaney Bramlett Mix) & Blues Power (Eric Clapton Mix) The album represents one of rock history’s most successful reinventions. After emerging as one of the seminal guitar heroes of the ’60s, the English superstar decisively re-established his musical priorities with Eric Clapton. It marked Clapton’s transition from flamboyant instrumental icon to well-rounded recording artist, downplaying sonic pyrotechnics in favour of a song-focused ensemble approach that would lay the groundwork for his massively successful solo career. For the occasion, he surrounded himself with a new cast of American musicians, tapping into a rootsy musical foundation that provided an inspired framework for his talents. This Anniversary Deluxe Edition presents Eric Clapton – Eric Clapton in three separate mixes: The Eric Clapton Mix, The Delaney Bramlett Mix and The Tom Dowd Mix (The UK Version). The Eric Clapton mix is being released in full for the first time. This anniversary collection also includes some singles, alternate versions and session outtakes.

In the fall of ’95 I walked into the Bill Graham Management offices with a simple query: Can we organize a tour where I get to jam with my favorite guitarists every night? It seemed like it would be an easy thing to achieve, but it wasn’t.

The multifaceted, deeply personal dramatic universe of Eric Rohmer has had an effect on cinema unlike any other. One of the founding critics of the history-making Cahiers du cinema, Rohmer began translating his written manifestos to film in the sixties, standing apart from his New Wave contemporaries, like Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, with his patented brand of gently existential, hyperarticulate character studies set against vivid seasonal landscapes.
