Jeff Beck with The Jan Hammer Group Live!

Jeff Beck - Utterly distinctive and one of the most important electric lead guitarist in rock history. Yes, one of the greatest guitar players to emerge in Rock music- only Clapton and Hendrix can truly be said to have surpassed him for imagination, excitement, technique and sheer fuel. Beck's tragedy is that he is also thoroughly inconsistent and a law purely unto himself. He is that genius never to have made a great album. But this album is special where he teams up with Jan Hammer - the keyboards extraordinaire and what a fantastic collaboration this is. Beck and Hammer take us on a mind blowing, spaced out trip. Both complement each other very well and the sparks do fly. This is not a pleasant, sweet sounding music but an avant garde, innovative music which pushes the envelope.

Back to 2013 - Do try and get Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's DVD and you will know why he is the most respected, highly revered guitarist today.

Featured on the album are:

Jeff Beck – Guitar

Jan Hammer - Keyboards

Album released 1977 on Epic label.
