Jeff Beck turned 65 today. Sheesh . . . if he’s that old, what does that say about me? (Well, I’m not that old . . .) As a tip of the cap to him, tonight I tuned in to his classic jazz-rock fusion album Blow by Blow—one of the few albums that I’ve had on vinyl, on cassette, and on CD. (Should I mention how much I like it?)Well, despite his age, he is still going strong; in fact, he recently performed in the Boston area—I missed the show but the Boston Globe gave it a rave review. I wonder if he had his amazing young bass player Tal Wilkenfeld with him. Check out this YouTube video of Beck and Tal performing “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers,” one of the tunes originally recorded on Blow By Blow.
