About this album
Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow
Blow by Blow is a solo album by British electric guitarist Jeff Beck. The Epic Records release, recorded in October 1974, was released in 1975. Considered one of his best releases, former Yardbirds sideman Chris Dreja had predicted in 1965 that Beck’s current sound “…was 1975.” In a glowing review on Allmusic, Mark Kirschenmann said that Blow by Blow ranks as one of the premiere recordings in the canon of instrumental rock music.
As an all-instrumental album it was a surprising commercial success, with a jazz fusion-like approach seldom seen on best-selling lists at the time. It was certified gold in 1976.
The album was produced by George Martin and recorded at his own AIR studios. Martin also composed string arrangements for two of the tracks, Scatterbrain and Diamond Dust.
As a big admirer of fellow guitarist Roy Buchanan, Beck dedicated the track Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers to him.
Allmusic review by Mark Kirschenmann
Blow by Blow typifies Jeff Beck’s wonderfully unpredictable career. Released in 1975, Beck’s fifth effort as a leader and first instrumental album was a marked departure from its more rock-based predecessors. Only composer/keyboardist Max Middleton returned from Beck’s previous lineups. To Beck’s credit, Blow by Blow features a tremendous supporting cast. Middleton’s tasteful use of the Fender Rhodes, clavinet, and analog synthesizers leaves a soulful imprint. Drummer Richard Bailey is in equal measure supportive and propulsive as he deftly combines elements of jazz and funk with contemporary mixed meters.

É sem dúvida nenhuma uma obra prima, seu repertório é maravilhoso, e com músicas que mesclam muito bem os diversos estilos que só o mestre Jeff Beck consegue dominar, marcou 75 para amantes de guitarra e música. Mesmo com faixas instrumentais, suas melodias soam como cantos e ficam facilmente na memória. Arranjos, produção e as interpretações são impecáveis, e contam com grandes nomes como Max Middleton e Richard Bailey, dirigidos por George Martin no lendário AIR Studio. São tantos bons momentos, que fica difícil citar algum específico, mas em todos os aspectos Jeff surpreende, com seus timbres as vezes lindos por sua simplicidade e as vezes perfeitos por sua excentricidade, e levadas as vezes tortas como jazz avant-gard e as vezes retas como hard rock, arranjos tanto mirabolantes como singelos, interpretações emocionantes, com temas, solos e improvisos, tudo do melhor. Poucos álbuns tiveram tanta importância em minha vida musical como esse, um verdadeiro cinco estrelas.

The genius of Freeway Jam is its drum work. Listen to it loud and soak up the masterfully crafted beat. Close your eyes and imagine the pavement of the freeway thudding under your wheels.
