With this release, Jeff Beck married rock and jazz to help create the fusion genre along with fellow groups like Weather Report and Return to Forever. Released in 1975 this album, which was produced by George Martin of Beatles fame brought instrumental music to the mainstream through songs like Stevie Wonder’s “Cause We Ended as Lovers,” as well as “Diamond Dust” and “Freeway Jam.”
This album should appeal to music fans that love a high level of musicianship, as well as people who like instrumental music. Sonically, there are solid dynamics in Richard Bailey’s drums and plenty of minute tonal differences for those that have ears to tell when Beck switches from his Fender Stratocaster and Telecasters, to the Gibson Les Paul that graces the cover of the album.
Signature Test Track: “Freeway Jam” This song has a lot going on in it with its frantic drum fills, Beck’s harmonic and hammer-on whammy bar techniques and the funky bass line that keeps the song moving. Some of the fine detail that can be spotted with speakers that can resolve this information include the reverb on the snare drum and the sharp timbral differences between Bailey’s array of crashes and china cymbals, which will reveal transient response, tonal accuracy and the ability to resolve the harmonic decay of the notes.
