Blow By Blow  by Jeff Beck

Jeff Beck, as a solo artist, records his first album in October 1974, Blow By Blow, using AIR studio in London, a studio owned, among others, by George Martin, who will also be the album's producer. Blow By Blow is released in March 1975.

Despite the fact that Jeff Beck had made his name as a blues-rock guitarist, he doesn't hesitate here to record an album that dives into experimentation and Jazz fusion music, an album purely instrumental. About half of the musical themes presented are his own compositions, while he gives his own orchestral approach to compositions by Lennon/McCartney (She's A Woman) or Stevie Wonder (Cause We've Ended as Lovers and Thelonious) or other composers. Stevie Wonder plays clavinet on Thelonious.

Blow By Blow reached No. 4 on the Billboard, and soon became a platinum album in the USA with its 1,000,000 sales. This album is the highest-charting album in the USA for any work by the English guitar virtuoso.
