The pair recently wrapped a four-date Tone-A-Rama tour, which played host to the improv-heavy jam that saw both Stratocaster masters tip their hats to the late Jeff Beck on the opening night at House of Blues, Dallas.
For the jam, Landau can be seen wielding what looks to be a Strat similar to his 1957 Custom Shop Master Built model. He starts the exchange by revving his whammy bar before rolling into short bursts of notes that balance between subtly discordant jazz and soulful blues.
They stutter and start, generating a palpable push and pull with Eric Johnson’s band, which features Keith Carlock (drums), Roscoe Beck (bass), and Sean Giddings (keys).
