Joe Beck The Jouney [CD-481]

The Journey finds Joe Beck re-discovering the jazz guitar as a powerful and vital instrument for creating music that is both uncompromisingly inventive and broadly appealing. Joe has the credentials to make the combination fruitful - his career includes playing and recording as leader and in bands of such diverse artists as Miles Davis (he was Miles' first guitarist), Steely Dan, Frank Sinatra and Duke Ellington. But The Journey is something different. "This is a spontaneous power-jazz-guitar album" says Joe, "and it's the best playing I've ever recorded" - Donald Elfman
