Spankystube1's video: Jeff Beck - Beck s Bolero

"Beck's Bolero" is a short, rock-based instrumental piece heavily influenced by Maurice Ravel's Boléro, recorded on 1966.05.16-17 by Jeff Beck with Jimmy Page (then a prolific session musician) on guitar, John Paul Jones on bass, Nicky Hopkins on piano, and Keith Moon on drums. Jeff had long been the lead guitarist with the Yardbirds, whose management was encouraging the individual band members to bring attention to the band through success in solo projects.[2] The song wasn't released until 1967.03.24 (04.03 in the U.S.), though, by which time Jeff was long gone from the Yardbirds--and it was "hidden" as the B-side of the Beck single "Hi Ho Silver Lining". The version featured here is from a live performance at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club.
