Thanks again to Jeff Richman and Tone Center some of todays guitar greats come together and give their jazz takes on Guitar God, Jeff Beck.
This is one of many Richman-Tone Center label collaboration tribute albums they have done for other great musicians including Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, John McLaughlin and more.
This is by far the best of that collection yet.
Along for the ride is Steve Morse, Eric Johnson, Mike Stern, Walter Trout, Greg Howe, Warren Haynes and more.
This is a great complilation and wonderful tribute to one of rock's greatest guitarist.

This review is from: Freeway Jam: To Beck and Back (Audio CD)

Jeff Richman has the ability to reshape guitar greats music in a way that shows what impressive compositions they had created. "To Beck and Back" is another triumph. Steve Morse is a master at tributes as testified with his "Major Impacts" discs and he again nails the "Beck Style" on Freeway Jam. Steve Lukather and Larry Carlton did a definitive take on The Pump but Warren Haynes adds bluesy emphasis for a fresh listen. Has anyone ever attempted a remake of Beck's Bolero? Eric Johnson does a good job. An all star cast throughout, Mike Stern, Greg Howe, Walter Trout, John Scofield, Adam Rogers, Chris Duarte, and of course Jeff Richman make this a "Five Star" highly recommended disc.

Jeff Beck is one of the truly distinctive guitarists in rock and fusion history. His approach and technique is unmistakeable. Most of the guitarists on this disc are also renowned in their own rights. However with a few high energy exceptions (Steve Morse's Freeway Jam) this disc is like listening to a medium scale cover band at a sports bar. I would suggest that listeners stick to the original catalogs of both Beck and the participating guitarists.
