released last year, in which Hammer wrote and produced one of the key tracks,
“Blue Wind,” as well as performing on and re-mixing four other tracks.

PICKS JEFF BECK WITH THE JAN HAMMER GROUP LIVE Breathless jazz-rock gymnastics from Beck, of the celebrated ‘60’s Yardbird trinity (with Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page). He has mastered virtually all modern guitar dialects-heavy metal, blues, astral jazz-and can scorch or soothe at will. Hammer the master of electric keyboards (piano and synthesizers) who played with the Mahavishnu Orchestra adds his exuberance to the collaboration. |
