TRACK OF THE DAY | Jeff Beck - Stratus (2007) with Tal Wilkenfeld | Live at The Crossroads Festival

Jeff Beck - Guitar
Tal Wilkenfeld - Bass
Vinnie Colaiuta - Drums
Jason Rebello - keyboards

[n.b. Tal was 21 here!]

It its just so hard that he’s not around anymore . . . . . but boy check this out!
They had FUN right?!


(N.B. check out what Vinnie is doing on the drums!!! WHAT IS HE DOING!? Staggering stuff!
like a solo instrument in places but the groove that Tal lays is just as impressive, she is also having SO MUCH FUN! look at her watching her band mates!) 💜

Thanks Andy. I was fortunate to see Mr. Beck with Mr. Colaiuta in Kansas City, those guys. They communicate with each other and play off of each other so well it reminds me of the interplay between Frank Zappa & George Duke (think Inca Roads or RDNZL). Vinnie may have learned? from Frank? Maybe he was born with it. Great ears & talent. Also Jeff Beck is in a category by himself. Big thank you to Chuck in KC!
