Guitarist Jeff Beck was born on June 24, 1944, in Warrington, Surrey, England. Discovered by Jimmy Page in 1965, he joined The Yardbirds after Eric Clapton's departure. In 1968, he formed a band called the Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, and in 1971, he formed the second Jeff Beck Group, releasing the albums "Rough and Ready" and "The Jeff Beck Group." He subsequently formed Beck, Bogert & Appice (BB&A) and made his first visit to Japan. In 1975, he released the instrumental album "Blow by Blow," which featured a strong fusion influence, a trend at the time, and received widespread acclaim and achieved sales success. He has won Grammy Awards for "Escape" from his 1985 album "Flash," his 1989 album "Guitar Shop," and "A Day in the Life" from the 2010 live album "Live Beck: Ronnie Scott's."
