Balance is Thinkin’ about Jeff Beck

 With profound sadness, I heard the news of Jeff Beck’s passing 0n 10 January 2023. His technique was unique. His imagination was limitless and he was the ultimate guitar players' player – A towering giant in the guitar world and an inspiration to the heroes of the instrument  Jeff Beck's willingness to showcase emerging musical talent paid dividends with the addition of 21-year-old virtuoso bassist Tai Wilkenfield to his live band in 2007, with the same lineup touring the world in 2009 with a memorable live performance filmed at Ronnie Scott's in London.   I first saw Jeff beck when he was in the Yardbirds back in the middle/late 60’s – and was just astounded then by his guitar playing and have done so ever since, to me his unique style of playing was something that no one could match – over the years I have been lucky enough to see Jeff Beck a few times and listened to hours of his music. This Mix is my nod of respect to the massive talent we have just lost – I think myself fortunate to have heard and appreciate his music both Live & Recorded. In this mix, are some of my personal favourites of Jeff’s music and I have tried to include many live recordings – especially when he is in collaboration with other artists - for me, that is where Jeff blossomed, shined and belonged. Also, I've put up 4 videos on our website – I recommend you watch them in order Why Jeff Beck is uncopiableJeff Beck talks music on Sky Arts TV 2013Jeff Beck – live from Ronnie Scotts – full showJeff Beck live from the woodlands – full show Thank you Jeff for all the many years of making my head nod with my eyes closed and taking me to a nice place.
