Following a successful first night at NYC’s famed Blue Note Jazz Club, guitarist Eric Krasno completed his final four performances in style, with special guests like The Roots’ Questlove and sacred steel guitarist Robert Randolph.

Adding to a backing band consisting of Nigel Hall, Louis Cato and Chris Loftlin, Eric Krasno & Friends rolled deep on March 20, with a roster than included not only Questlove, but also David Guy (Dap-Kings & The Roots), Cochemea Gastelum (Dap-Kings) and Cory Henry (Snarky Puppy). Both the early show and the late show opened with Krasno originals “76” and “Be Alright.” And both nights featured rocking, star-studded versions of James Brown’s “Soul Power” and closing renditions of Earth, Wind and Fire’s “Can’t Hide Love.”

March 21, mostly belonged to Robert Randolph, with the steel guitarist sitting in on Jimi Hendrix tunes (“Hey Joe,” “Manic Depression”), Dead originals (“Sugaree”) and even a gospel number (“Presence of the Lord”), which nodded to Randolph’s past as a church performer.

During the March 21 early show, photographer and jam scene regular Danny Clinch added harmonica to a version of Muddy Waters’ “Mannish Boy.”

For the late show, which was Krasno’s final performance of the run (and his sixth in three days), the guitarist played his first tune “76” with just his backing band. Later, Trey Anastasio Band saxophonist sat in for Nigel Hall’s “Don’t Change For Me,” and Robert Randolph rode out the rest of the set, ending on the Beatles’ “Get Back.”
