21 March 2023

Inside you’ll find in-depth reviews of the band’s intriguingly scattershot catalogue, presented alongside our pick of archive interviews. THE YARDBIRDS‘ own lifespan
was an explosive five years, so beyond that, UNCUT takes the opportunity to follow
JEFF BECK’s career, from blues rock, to jazz fusion and even drum ‘n’ bass as he maintained a hunger for fresh sounds, much like his friend David Bowie.

Waking Up… DAZED AND CONFUSED

Posted on by JL

Works faster and harder than caffeine

Yesterday the genuine pioneering guitar
hero JEFF BECK passed away, aged 78.

His career started with British blues rock band The Yardbirds
where he and Jimmy Page played together for a short time.

It’s a bit of a weird coincidence that Led Zeppelin ‘s debut LP came
out this day in 1969, featuring their classic Dazed and Confused .

That’s my feeling after the sad news about Jeff Beck.

JEFF BECK, one of the genuine and pioneering guitar heroes in rock, passed away
2 days ago at 78, after suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis. The news was made public yesterday evening. The exceptional musician was born Geoffrey Arnold Beck in
East Essex, UK in 1944.

He started his career with 60s blues beat band The Yardbirds (who also had Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton in their changing line-ups). In 1967 he started his own band The Jeff Beck Group originally with Rod Stewart as the singer and Ronnie Wood on guitar. The JBG recorded 3 albums.

As a solo artist Beck released 11 LPs with Loud Hailer as the most recent
one that came out in 2016. He also recorded with many other artists.

JEFF BECK – Second Highly Influential (Solo) LP ‘WIRED’ Released 45 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

7 May 2021

Artist: JEFF BECK

Album: WIRED
Released: 1 May 1976 – 45 years ago

AllMusic/Mark Kirschenmann: “‘Wired’ contains some of the best jazz-rock
fusion of the period. ‘Wired’ is generally more muscular, albeit less-unique than
its predecessor, ‘Blow by Blow’… Within a two-year span, the twin towers ‘Blow by
Blow’ and ‘Wired’ set a standard for instrumental rock that even Beck has found
difficult to match. On Wired, with first-rate material and collaborators on hand,
one of rock’s most compelling guitarists is in top form.”
Full review here . Score: 4.5/5.
