Festival International de Jazz de Montreal is presented by General Motors in collaboration with (aluminum company) Rio Tinto Alcan.
Following a short stint at London's Wimbledon Art College, Jeff Beck kicked off his music career and eventually landed a gig as the lead guitarist for the Yardbirds. He stayed with the group for two years and then said he was retiring before forming the Jeff Beck Group with vocalist Rod Stewart, bassist Ron Wood and drummer Aynsley Dunbar (who was promptly replaced by Mickey Waller).
Despite not securing success with their albums, Beck's group did lay the foundation for heavy metal. The members of the group went their separate ways and he formed a new version of the Jeff Beck group in 1971, releasing two albums before disbanding. Jeff Beck formed a powerful trio with two former band mates but was subsequently quiet until his 1975 effort Blow by Blow. The all-instrumental jazz fusion effort garnered strong reviews and he returned in 1980 with There and Back, after a tour and live album that is.
Jeff Beck again went into retirement but, lucky for fans, returned with Flash and then took another hiatus before 1989's Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop, which won the Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Album. Beck's next appearances would be on other artists' projects, like when he played lead guitar on Roger Waters' comeback album Amused to Death, although he did release Crazy Legs in 1993 followed by Who Else! in 1999. Beck then released You Had It Coming in 2001 and Epic issued Jeff (the veteran musician's 14th release) in 2003.
