I was watching Jeff Beck: Live at Ronnie Scott's tonight on Palladia. Damn, I forgot how much I enjoy listening to and watching him play. Guitarists, take a lesson!

Here are just a few samples:

And it's just virtuoso playing all around. As a drummer, I love Vinnie Colaiuta, of course, and the keyboard player, Jason Rebello, was stellar, too. But I saw someone new to me. . .



. . .Tal Wilkenfeld. I know, I know--she looks 12. But she's about 20, I think--and she's a force to be reckoned with on bass guitar! If you haven't heard of Wilkenfeld, check her out.
