4 stars In the late Seventies I stumbled upon Jeff Beck when I was exploring the jazzrock genre, after discovering Jean-Luc Ponty and Al DiMeola, this solo album from 1976 is my favorite one.

Led Boots delivers amazing interplay between a propulsive and fluent rhythm-section, a swinging clavinet sound, fiery guitar and biting guitar runs and halfway sensational Minimoog synthesizer flights by master Jan Hammer.

Come Dancing is a progressive blend of rock (spectacular distorted guitar solo), jazz (Fender Rhodes piano) and funk (bass), topped by a another sensational Minimoog solo.

The bluesy Goodbye Pork Pie Hat featuring a guitar sound that varies from tender and elegant to raw and heavy and biting work on the tremolo arm, Jeff Beck his trademark.

A funky bass, fiery guitar and pleasant Fender Rhodes piano in the swinging Head For Backstage Pass,

Exciting interplay between fiery electric guitar and flashy Minimoog in Blue Wind, the duo Jeff Beck/Jan Hammer sounds like a 4-piece powerhouse, great!

Amazing interplay and strong soli in the dynamic Sophie, sensational Minimoog work in the swinging Play With Me

And finally warm piano and acoustic guitar in the mellow Love Is Green.

What an awesome skills, interplay and musical ideas by these musicians, and what an unique guitarwork by Jeff Beck, wow!
