JEFF BECK

Les Yardbirds


En 1965, Beck rejoint les Yardbirds après le départ d'Eric Clapton pour les John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. C'est lors de son passage chez les Yardbirds que ceux-ci enregistrent leurs plus grands succès. En 1966, Jeff partage pendant quelques mois le statut de guitariste "leader" avec Jimmy Page (futur guitariste de Led Zeppelin)^[1]. Il est alors un des premiers guitariste à expérimenter la distorsion (plus particulièrement sur l'album Roger The Engineer), le feed back et la fuzz box. C'est cette redéfinition du son et du rôle des guitares électriques qui inspira Jimi Hendrix. Pour diverses raisons mais en partie pour des raisons de santé, Jeff quitte le groupe après 18 mois de service.

Le Jeff Beck Group


L'année suivante, il forme le Jeff Beck Group, avec Rod Stewart au chant, Ron Wood à la basse, Mick Waller à la batterie (remplacé par Tony Newman sur Beck-Ola), et Nicky Hopkins au piano. Le groupe produit alors deux albums, Truth en 1968 et Beck-Ola en 1969. A cause de frictions dans le groupe, Stewart et Wood partent en 1969, quelques semaines avant le Festival de Woodstock auquel le groupe devait participer. Ron Wood ira rejoindre les Rolling Stones comme guitariste en 1975 suite au départ de Mick Taylor.
Le travail de Beck avec les Yardbirds et l'album de 1968 Truth du Jeff Beck Group sont les premières influences du heavy metal, dont l'émergence date des années 1970.

Carrière solo


Après l'échec du second Jeff Beck Group en 1972, Beck fonde un trio avec Carmine Appice à la batterie et Tim Bogert à la basse. Le succès n'étant pas au rendez-vous, Beck, Bogert & Appice est rapidement dissout. En 1975, Beck réalise un album instrumental de jazz fusion intitulé Blow by Blow. Celui-ci reçoit des critiques élogieuses et atteint le quatrième rang des charts US. Il est suivi d'un album en collaboration avec le claviériste Jan Hammer en 1976 Wired avec autant de succès
Dans les années 1980 et 1990, Beck enregistre de façon sporadique : There and Back avec Jan Hammer, Simon Philips, Tony Hymas et Mo Foster puis Flash (1985), Guitar Shop (1989), Frankie's House (Music from the original soudtrack) avec Jed Leiber au clavier en 1992, Crazy Legs (1993), Who Else (1999), et You Had It Coming (2001).
Jeff Beck gagne son troisième Grammy Award cette fois-ci, celui de la meilleure performance instrumentale rock pour le morceau Dirty Mind extrait de You Had It Coming.
L'album de 2003, Jeff marque l'ancrage dans le style electro-guitare utilisé lors des deux albums précédents. Le morceau Plan B de cet album lui doit son quatrième Grammy Award, une autre fois pour meilleure performance instrumentale rock.

t'as vu ça où ?

The Faces doivent se retrouver pour des répétitions en vue d'une prochaine reformation. Le leader Rod Stewart a déclaré à Raysgigs.com que les membres d'origine, excepté bien sûr le bassiste Ronnie Lane, décédé en 1997, doivent se retrouver le 17 novembre prochain pour réviser leurs classiques.
The Faces s'étaient séparés en 1975 après le départ de Wood pour The Rolling Stones.

Jeff Beck et Jimmy Page au Rock and Roll Hall of Fame !!!

Jeff beck sera au Festival de Montreux, cet été. BB. King, Alice Cooper, et d'autres sont programmés.

http://www.musicactu.com/actualite-musique/noi_104449/des-exclusivites-au-montreux-jazz-festival/

Moi j'y serais pour Jeff BECK et la veille pour John FOGERTY/Status Quo.
Sacrés journées ! ! ! !

Salut Mica . Content de te relire !!!!!!!

On sent un regain d'activité chez El Becko . Nouvel album intitulé Emotion & Commotion après 7 ans sans avoir sorti quoi que ce soit en termes de nouveaux morceaux. Il sera accompagné d'un orchestre de 64 musiciens.

For his first studio album in seven years, Grammy-winning guitarist
Jeff Beck returns with an eclectic mix of tracks that find the guitar
virtuoso accompanied by a handpicked cast of talented musicians, as
well as several songs accompanied by a 64-piece orchestra. Rhino
unleashes the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer s restless genius with
EMOTION & COMMOTION.
Beck recorded EMOTION & COMMOTION late
last year at Sarm Studios in London with award-winning producers Steve
Lipson and Trevor Horn. To create the album s diverse sound, Beck used
a number of musicians, including appearances by frequent collaborators
Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), Jason Rebello (keyboards), and Tal Wilkenfeld
(bass). The album also includes contributions from a trio of singers:
Imelda May ('Lilac Wine'), Olivia Safe ('Elegy For Dunkirk'), and
Grammy-winner Joss Stone ('I Put A Spell On You' and 'There s No Other
Me').
To complement the innovative tones he coaxes from his guitar,
Beck recorded with a 64-piece orchestra on songs that range from
Puccini s immortal aria 'Nessun Dorma' and Elegy For Dunkirk from the
film Atonement to 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' from The Wizard Of Oz
and Jeff Buckley s interpretation of 'Corpus Christi Carol.'
Beck
says the idea of pairing his guitar with an orchestra evolved from the
version of Gustav Mahler s Symphony No. 5 he recorded a few years ago.
'It turned out amazingly well, but I didn t want to commit to an entire
album of classical music. What appealed to me instead was the idea of
bringing together these seemingly contradictory sounds on different
kinds of nonclassical music.'
In addition to the orchestral pieces,
EMOTION & COMMOTION showcases a number of original compositions.
For 'Hammerhead,' Beck fires the rocker s opening salvo through his
wah-wah pedal before falling into a deep groove carved out by the
rhythm section and horn arrangement. At the opposite end of the sonic
spectrum, the airy arrangement that elevates 'Never Alone' provides a
wide-angle soundscape for Beck s imagination to freely explore the
high-flying melody.

Jeff Beck et Rod Stewart projettent de faire un album ensemble :

Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart will make a new album together – and Classic Rock has the exclusive on what’s going on!

Words: Max Bell

Jeff confirmed to Classic Rock that the two old buddies would renew a partnership that first saw light in the late 1960s when the two rock gods were working on Truth and Beck-Ola and were scheduled to perform at Woodstock, a plan that never materialised when the Jeff Beck Group disbanded on the eve of the festival.

The idea broke as a rumour when Rod mentioned that the two men had enjoyed a convivial meeting just before Christmas but when Classic Rock spoke to Jeff he put a great deal more meat on that bone.

“Something has been on the cards for a while,” he says. “There have been rumblings in the studio, and yes I have done some demos for him and with him. This happened after our lunch liaison in Los Angeles, but just as matters were proceeding his new baby came along and completely screwed up the whole thing.”

An exhilarated and clearly jokey Jeff continues: “I thought,’ Rod why don’t you just put it away! Leave her (his partner Penny Lancaster gave birth to son Aiden on February 17) to get on with it! She’s used to it mate, you don’t need to be there’. It’s her second child. Why not leave it at that, then? How many more miracles does he want!

“Seriously, I put in a lot of effort over the week we were together in the studio. We’ve co-written 11 tracks and I’ve suggested what might be a good starting point, and so hopefully we can come to an exciting agreement as to what to do with all this stuff. We’ve agreed on something together, a beginning for the project. At the same time I’m seeing him today (February 24) for a further chat. I’m into the idea but I’m going to shoot myself in the foot aren’t I? Bbecause everyone’s going to be wanting this reunion and not my next album. One will obviously overshadow the other, and after the reaction and great response to my 2010 record Emotion & Commotion it seems a bit of a shame to suddenly go left field over the other thing.

“But I know people won’t have been having their tongues hanging out for 30 or 40 years or whatever, waiting for us to do it, or maybe they will be? And then of course it makes no sense not to tour it, have to! Take it out on tour. It will be enjoyable anyway. We can do just a couple of Hollywood Bowls here and some Madison Square Gardens there and then there’s England. The O2 in London isn’t what I’d want. It’s too echoey. I’d much rather do three or four nights at the old Hammersmith Odeon (now Apollo). I want it to be right in your face and the sound has to be just right. The sound is my number one priority.

“Over our next lunch Rod and me will probably beat each other to death, but the fact remains he’s coming to see me and we are going over the material, all of it. I want to see that Rod is genuine into the idea and that it’s not just a weekend’s fancy. I don’t think it is because his manager (Arnold Stiefel) is well into it.”

Indeed Stiefel has recently offered the opinion that the new material, “Is mind-fucking stuff”. Beck concurs.

“It is good actually. Stage One was just agreeing that it was basically a good idea and then Stage Two was the actual collaboration and co-writing. Stage Three was me lending my studio in Los Angeles to Rod for the demos, to the tune of $17.000! So I’ll be expecting a cheque from Rod for that! But I’ve got two chances there! No chance and no flippin’ chance! But while he’s sitting there listening to the tracks I’ll sneak out and….nah I can’t say that!”

Details on the actual songs are still well under wraps. In 2004, the Jeff Beck Group reunited to play at the Royal Albert Hall with Ronnie Wood on bass, Rod at the mic and Jeff on guitar. They rehearsed a lot of classic material from their original albums and a couple of choice numbers like Rock My Plimsoul and I Ain’t Superstitious. And in 1985, Stewart guested on the Beck album Flash; the pair performed a cover of The Impressions’ People Get Ready.

“It sounded fucking brilliant,” Stewart recalled. But the concert was cancelled when Jeff phoned Rod and said he’d had a change of heart. Subsequently they did perform together in Los Angeles, and Beck caught the bug again. Now he has said that he “Would have to turn the clock back 20 or 30 years to match what Rod does, stylistically. Not that that is meant to be a derogatory statement. He loves the 60s. He loves blues he loves old stuff.” So no stretch for Beck there then.

We’ll have to wait and see what transpires regarding new material. Beck is keen to offer a modern twist on whatever the two men come up with, and the songs are bound to reflect both his single-minded desire, and Rod Stewart’s undoubted love for a belting old rocking blues tune.

JEFF BECK LIVE+ New Live Album Spanning The Legendary Guitarist’s Vast and Varied Career, Along With Two New Studio Tracks, Available JEFF BECK LIVE+ New Live Album Spanning The Legendary Guitarist’s Vast and Varied Career, Along With Two New Studio Tracks, Available May 5

New Solo Dates Announced For May,

Tour Kicks Off April 13, Includes Dates With ZZ TOP

LOS ANGELES – Jeff Beck earned raves last year for his spellbinding performances during the hugely successful double-bill tour with ZZ TOP. Fans can relive Beck’s thrilling guitar gymnastics from those shows with a new live album that touches on key eras from the legendary artist’s influential career. The album captures a snapshot of Jeff’s work in 2014, with two newly recorded studio tracks also included, his first new music since 2010’s Grammy®-winning Emotion & Commotion.

Packed with more than an hour of music, JEFF BECK LIVE+ will be available from Atco Records, an imprint of Rhino Entertainment, on May 5 for a list price of $18.98 (CD) and will also be available digitally. The album will arrive as Beck is in the midst of an East Coast solo tour, which includes newly added dates in May. This trek also features make-up dates from the same ZZ TOP tour this album was recorded during, before it was cut short due to an injury to ZZ TOP bassist Dusty Hill.

The 14 live performances on JEFF BECK LIVE+ were recorded at multiple venues in 2014 and feature Beck backed by his band: vocalist Jimmy Hall, bassist Rhonda Smith, drummer Jonathan Joseph and guitarist Nicolas Meier. The quintet explored Beck’s vast catalog—which stretches across five decades—with performances of “Morning Dew” (from Truth, 1968), “Superstition” (from Beck, Bogert, Appice, 1973), “Big Block” (from Jeff Beck’s Guitar Shop, 1989), as well as two Grammy-winning tracks: his cover of the Beatles’ “A Day In The Life” and “Hammerhead.”

LIVE + concludes with two new studio tracks: “Tribal” and “My Tiled White Floor,” with guest vocals from Ruth Lorenzo and Veronica Bellino, respectively. These aggressive new songs mark Beck’s first studio recordings since 2010 and show a stark departure from the sound on his previous album as the guitarist continues to push the envelope of musical innovation, just as he has his entire career. These tracks are sure to whet the appetite of Beck fans as the guitarist prepares his 17th studio album, which is expected later this year.

Throughout his career, Beck has also proven to be a brilliant interpreter of other’s songs. This live album doesn’t disappoint with covers of “Danny Boy,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing,” Mahavishnu Orchestra’s “You Know You Know,” and Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come.”

Beck’s career took off in the mid-1960s, after replacing Eric Clapton as lead guitarist for The Yardbirds on the recommendation of his friend Jimmy Page. He played on several of the rock group’s hits, such as “Heart Full of Soul,” “Shapes of Things” and “Over Under Sideways Down.” Beck has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: once with The Yardbirds in 1992 and again as a solo artist in 2009. He has won numerous Grammy Awards, including two in 2011.

New York, NY— In the summer of 2016, guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck celebrated 50 years of his musical career with an extraordinary concert at the famous Hollywood Bowl. Beck set the stage ablaze with incredible live versions of “For Your Love”, “Beck’s Bolero”, “’Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers”, “Big Block”, “Over Under Sideways Down”, “A Day In The Life”, “Blue Wind”, and more.

First, as a member of the Yardbirds in 1992 and then again, as a solo artist in 2009. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him as one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and he has earned a total of 8 Grammy Awards during his long career.
