Joe Beck's 1975 album, simply titled "Beck," is a hidden gem in the world of jazz fusion, recorded at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder's Studio in New Jersey. This album showcases Beck's exceptional guitar skills, blending seamlessly with the talents of notable session musicians like David Sanborn on saxophone and Don Grolnick on keyboards. The six-track collection, including standout pieces like "Star Fire" and "Cafe Black Rose," offers a smooth and sophisticated listening experience, characterized by intricate melodies and a polished, light style. Despite being initially released on the CTI label and later becoming a sought-after Japanese import, "Beck" remains a testament to Joe Beck's virtuosity and his ability to create music that transcends time. The album's enduring appeal lies in its timeless appeal and the seamless fusion of jazz, funk, and pop elements, making it a captivating journey for both longtime fans and new listeners alike.

This is a 1985 Reissue released as a LP.

Joe Beck's Jazz Fusion Masterpiece
3 out of 5 stars
cetaYM_June 27, 2024United Kingdom🇬🇧
Joe Beck is an amazing jazz guitarist. His fusion playing is top-notch, really enjoyable to listen to. This album is a great team-up with some well-known musicians from that era. Sanborn can be a bit much, but he's got solid jazz-funk cred. The recording quality is excellent, engineered by RVG himself, and Joe's guitar tone is nice, though maybe a tad too scooped. Highly recommended.
Mid-'70s Jazz-Rock Fusion
3 out of 5 stars

I guess I mistakenly thought the alternate cover meant it was a different album than the one I already owned. My bad for not verifying. This is classic mid-'70s jazz-rock fusion, featuring some blazing Sanborn alto and delicious guitar work by Beck. It's got that classic CTI vibe with Sebesky's arrangements and strings. 3 stars.
