I saw this last winter on HD TV and was mesmerized.
It's all on DVD now.

Jeff Beck introduced by the "incomparable" Bill Murray with Tal Wilkenfeld on bass:


9 minutes

"While he was as innovative as Jimmy Page, as tasteful as Eric Clapton, and nearly as visionary as Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck never achieved the same commercial success as any of his contemporaries, primarily because of the haphazard way he approached his career. After Rod Stewart left the Jeff Beck Group in 1971, Beck never worked with a charismatic lead singer who could have helped sell his music to a wide audience. Furthermore, he was simply too idiosyncratic, moving from heavy metal to jazz fusion within a blink of an eye. As his career progressed, he became more fascinated by automobiles than guitars, releasing only one album during the course of the '90s. All the while, Beck retained the respect of fellow guitarists, who found his reclusiveness all the more alluring."

I saw him play with Jan Hammer back in 78'. One of the greats! Thanks.

I recall reading that Les Paul thought that Jeff Beck was the best he had ever seen.

You can set up a station on Pandora. I have
Pandora on a dedicated browser (opera) so I don't loose it as I click around.
Pandora rocks!

How about some "Go-GO" dancers, a big old Hammond Organ and some Vanilla Fudge?

"You keep me hanging on"

Those poor girls look ridiculous trying to dance to that! :lol:

Mike thanks for that Pandora link.
I've been on it ever since you first posted it a year or so back.

I've got my favorite stations Diana Krall, John Mayer, Isley brothers, Muddy Waters, BB King, Hendrix, etc.

I can't get Shirley Q. Liquor however.
What's up with that? :lol:

Beck is extraordinary, but Tal is quite awesome on bass guitar all by herself.

Yes. She seems to play so effortlessly. She's a natural.

My first time with Diana Krall: 1999 Newport jazz festival.
