“Legends” was the brainchild of renowned bassist / producer / composer Marcus Miller. In Legends, Eric was not the headliner, but simply a guy in the band. It was not a rock band, but a jazz ensemble. The group consisted of:

Eric Clapton - Guitar
Steve Gadd - Drums
Marcus Miller - Bass
David Sanborn - Saxophone
Joe Sample - Piano

In July 1997, Legends embarked on a 11 date tour of the major European Jazz Festivals. Although a studio album was rumoured at the time, it was never recorded.
