Musician

Jeff Beck

Born:

Jeff Beck isn't your typical guitar legend. His goal, in fact, is to make you forget that he plays guitar.

"I don't understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound," says Beck."Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off. I love it when people hear my music but can't figure out what instrument I'm playing. What a cool compliment."

Beck burst onto the music scene in 1966 after joining the Yardbirds. Although his stint with the band lasted only 18 months, Beck played on almost all of the group's hits. More importantly, Beck's innovative style heard on classics like "Heart Full of Soul" and "Shapes of Things" helped influence the psychedelic sound of the "60s.

Rolling Stones: Black and Blue (2CD)

Read "Black and Blue (2CD)" reviewed by Doug Collette


Forgetting for the moment any revisionism applied to the Rolling Stones album Black & Blue (Rolling Stones Records, 1976), the iconic British band was in more than a little disarray when it repaired to a variety of studios for recording sessions beginning roughly two years prior to issue. Still, retrospect applied via the reissue(s) of the ...

Ronnie Wood: Fearless: The Anthology 1965-2025

Read "Fearless: The Anthology 1965-2025" reviewed by Doug Collette


If the Ronnie Wood anthology Fearless proves anything, it is that the predominant virtues of the peripatetic British musician are largely intangible. Not that the guitarist, songwriter and singer is not talented in those various roles, but that his most salient attributes, at least as depicted here, as those of a convivial individual who invariably contributes ...

Improvisation Versus Composition

Read "Improvisation Versus Composition" reviewed by Robert J. Lewis


What is it that attracts music lovers to jazz (improvised music)? Is it the loose structure, or the beat or the notes and melodies we have never heard before and will never hear again, unless the performance has been recorded? Or is it the musician's uncanny ability to spontaneously translate feelings that inform the notes into ...

Will Brahm: Distance to Empty

Read "Distance to Empty" reviewed by Karan Khosla


Distance to Empty is a phrase that carries a familiar feeling--something you might glimpse glowing on the dashboard as you pull away from a final pit stop before a long journey. Will Brahm, metaphorically and musically, poses these questions: How far can you go with what you have? What is left in the tank? What is ...
