Interesting how this comments section has become an homage to Jeff Beck himself, since this tune is a Charles Mingus tribute to Lester Young. I get it, as this was posted just after his death, and Beck was arguably one of the three greatest guitarists of my lifetime so far, along with John McLaughlin and Alan Holdsworth. I just find that this tune is also a great tune to use to remind us all not only of Jeff Beck's amazing virtuosity but also of the excellent compositional genius of Charles Mingus who obviously very much loved and wished to honor Lester Young, one of the greatest Horn players of all time. There are now so many great versions of this song, and this one absolutely stands out! RIP Messrs. Beck, Mingus and Young and thanks to you all!

I also said his version absolutely stands out! Just wtf post were you reading, anyway? Obviously, NOT mine! The word chord is spelled "CHORD,". not cord, btw ... really, if your are going to comment on music, especially to criticize someone else's post, the least you can do is use spell check or learn to spell.

You are no-one to me to be trying to school me on what it means to compose and/or interpret a piece of music! The word due is spelled "DUE" not do!

Jeff beck is one of the first generation of British rock, blues and jazz artists. I'm surprised to hear he was only 78. He must have been a teenage prodigy back when he played for the Yard Birds. He had an original style that really stood out when he started his own band.

He further said that although he (Clapton) varied around different genres of guitar, Jeff remained true to his roots and is basically perfecting himself.

This was LIVE at Ronnie Scott's pub in London (A MUST HAVE) with the LEGENDARY Robert Plant AND Jimmy Page in the audience and how lucky everyone was that night to witness one of the (my fav 5 -Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Frank Marino of Mahogany Rush) ALL-TIME great rock guitarists that will ever grace this planet give an absolutely incredible, one-of-a-kind intimate performance (major kudos to Tal, Vinnie and Jason best ever band & live performance)!!! I've watched/listened to this amazing DVD for a hundred times at least the past two plus years (got me thru COVID) and never tire of it and never will, an absolute GEM of a performance, EPIC. God Bless you Jeff Beck, hope to meet you and Hendrix and many, many others in Guitar Heaven some day. Kirk out.

There's so much technical and artistic mastery on display here that it's hard to know where to begin. First, Beck is still and will always be the coolest cat in the room. That's not controversial, I'd think Led Zep and the Stones would be the first to tell you the same thing. You can just look at Beck and can see how he is completed by the guitar. It's part of him. The way he conveys emotion with dynamics, pitch, and speed is the gold standard for all musicians - you aspire to have that much control over your instrument that it plays whatever you're thinking at any given moment - a perfect conduit.

He made me take fusion serious for the first time as a teenager. I think it’s Vinnie Colaiuta on drums- the greatest drummer of all time possibly. He has no problem taking the back seat in a gig like this and when he played with Sting. He can play anything, including a simple beat. A true rarity. A great drummer knows when it’s their job to keep time and when it’s time for them to shine. Dave Weckl can’t play this gig, imagine the guy from Dream Theater lol. When I saw Beck live my only problem was sometimes his band covered him up. Might have been the acoustics it was a symphony hall too much echo. He had a dif band not as good as this one. I think it was 99 or 2000.

I find myself always coming back to some Jeff Beck. Honestly I can't think of anybody else that does what he does. Strange that he's not really known as a mega star but his skill level is on another planet.

The best thing about Jeff Beck's playing is that he turns the guitar into something else, it's a true extension of himself and few guitarists are able to do that. Would kill to see him live, but never had the chance. The band he's with are killer as well, completely compliment the entire song so well.
