Jeff Beck

Official Bootleg USA '06

May 23, 2007

Album Rock

A release originally only sold at shows and on his website, 2007's Official Bootleg USA '06, documents most of a performance at the Greek Theater. Joining were keyboardist Jason Rebello, bassist Pino Palladino, and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, plus a string section on the chilling “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.” This set features much looser, but no less incendiary playing from the guitarist -- check "Blue Wind" and "Led Boots," ‘Scatterbrain,” and the cover of Billy Cobham's "Stratus.”

Chet Baker

Songs for Lovers

July 15, 1997

Cool

Celebrated for his trumpet skills, Chet Baker's secondary superpower was his breathy behind-the-beat singing voice, in sly form on this romantic release. The whole album carries a sultry sway but the vocal numbers croon and swoon with a casual pulse, perfect for a quiet evening.
