Somehow I manage to enjoy this very much, and still like Deadmau5 & Moby, too... :-)
As do I and many of your other listeners. RP is really the first and only streaming service I've ever listened to, and for me it's chiefly because of it's variety.
Thanks to a quirk of his tour schedule and my travels I managed to see him three times in the year or so after this album came out. Completely awesome every time. Mr. Beck is unquestionably one of the greats.
You lucky duck! I wish that I could have been at those shows too!!!
I got this LP back when it first came out. I was in undergraduate school. The entire album was, and is, outstanding. I about reduced the LP to vinyl shavings from playing it so much. But for all that back at that time it wasn't necessarily all that popular. It wasn't unpopular; it just didn't cater to the popular mind. It's gratifying to see how over time it sunk into the minds of many. A tribute to Jeff Beck's enduring success as an artist. He was a true master at his craft.

Exactly the same here! I wound up having to buy a new record! ...May he REST IN PEACE!!

But sometimes the covers of jazz standards (e.g., this song, Round Midnight) by RnR guys just don't sound right.
Maybe an Eddie Reynolds modded "Suitcase Rhodes"? The attack is softer than a "Stage Rhodes" on this tune.
That's definitely possible, although one shouldn't discount the fact that the album was produced by George Martin, so who knows what signal processing magic happened...?
Fender Rhodes.

Feeling a need to dig up the old vinyl and play this at high volume! Bought this my senior year in high school.
RIP Jeff
Fender Rhodes.
Spot on -- I agree with you and others on this. Every note played. I've got it turned up, as usual. Thank you Jeff.
Love B
Perhaps the most carefully nuanced electric guitar playing ever captured on a recording. Every note, every tone... simply amazing...Proof that he is the greatest electric guitarist alive today.
I Agree with this post from 6yrs ago!! May Jeff Rest In Peace!
Despite all the issues and concerns that need no elaboration, and baby there are a plethora of 'em to contend with, it really comes to this. We live in a golden age folks. So enjoy it as best you may!

Bought this album when it came out. Amazing how well it ages. RIP Jeff Beck.
Same here! I Agree Completely! Thanx RP!

Jeff Beck was without question one of the
all-time greats, arguably the best to ever
pick up a guitar.
From the quietest ballads to the raunchiest rockers, Jeff was a true master.
I encourage everyone to check out the Live at Ronnie Scott's concert; I think it captures his genius, and humility.
RIP Jeff, it breaks my heart that you are gone.
R.I.P.
and rest in peace dear jeff :(
This tune was composed by Charles Mingus, and was on his "Ah Um" album, released in 1959. The whole album is great!!!
2nd to Mingus, this is the best version of this tune!
Yeah, baby, this is the real deal! Recorded in 1976. Were you born?
So was I! Great album. Please play more Jeff Beck. And Robin Trower, too!
we must have been friends...
This one never, ever, gets old. Jeff Beck is one of the few guitarists who quite literally sings with their instrument. He's the Pavarotti of the guitar.

There's a reason why none of the other guitar players in
this generation wanted to jam with Jeff Beck. He could do what they
could do, but they couldn't do what he could.
Yeah, except for many You Tubes of other well known (and some superstar) guitarists of his generation or just a few years younger who eagerly jammed and appeared with him. Substitute 'none of the' with 'few' and you may be correct.
Totally agree. Never heard that no one wanted to jam with JB. Even AC/DC played with the Stones.

Horrible
I'm sure it would be fantastic otherwise
Since it was produced by the GOAT (George Martin) I think I'll take his ears over yours.
Wired, Blow By Blow and There and Back are the trinity of instrumental electric guitar albums

Definitely an iMMmmm....merse yourself into......mmmm š
Ah Um album, 1959. ICONIC!

From Wikipedia:
Beck has said that he first heard an electric guitar when he was 6 years old and heard Paul playing "How High the Moon" on the radio. He asked his mother what it was. After she replied it was an electric guitar and was all tricks, he said, "That's for me".
So yeah...pretty much!
When you hear this music, doesn't it become crystal clear that Moby and Deadmau5 have no business in your rotation?
Love you RP...... keep it real!

"Jeff Beck doesn't just play music. He IS music."
I cannot disagree. This guy is the embodiment of someone tapped into a main vein from the musical source. He's almost literally a force all his own. If from his perspective his is an epiphany it's one of the longest running, continuous, ones I've ever had the pleasure to follow and experience. May he live a long, long, time and keep that fount open and flowing. It is marvelous.

This, in spades.
Is that better or worse than them wearing cowboy hats?
The cowboy hats provide more protection from the sun, rain, snow and overhanging branches when riding horses on the range. (Modern cowboys tend to prefer a peaked baseball-style hat.)
As for wearing a cowboy hat while driving the F-350 truck to the mall to go shopping..... I guess it is a fashion preference just like any other.

Maybe you want to layer in Stratus once in a while - the Billly Cobham version also! That would be an awesome back to back set!

Bravo Beck!
Appreciation in last 40 years: Much
Or at the very least a badass.
Eghads, I don't recognize Jeff Beck. WTF?
From Wiki: "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" is a jazz standard composed by Charles Mingus originally recorded by his sextet in 1959" . . .
. . . So 40, 56, a long time in either case. Great songs transcend generations.
I bought my son a great one about 8 years ago. He laughed his ass off. I returned it. But I still think he would have rocked it.
Thanks, Bill!
don't forget Duane on that bus too
(And here's to being stoned back in the day in the Tetons...or maybe Rocky Mtn. National Park...or...)

As do I and many of your other listeners. RP is really the first and only streaming service I've ever listened to, and for me it's chiefly because of it's variety.
I now lean towards Symphonic Metal, Prog Metal, and some Power Metal, but this is my day to day listen and my choice at work, especially since moving back up to the U.P. the local stations, bar one out of Door County, are dreadful, (some sound exactly like they did back in 1984, when I left), or blast you with the stupid news hourly.
