About this album

There & Back finds Jeff Beck balancing virtuoso flash with tighter melodic focus, making it one of his strongest fusion-era statements. Released in 1980, the album features key contributions from keyboardist Tony Hymas, bassist Jan Hammer and drummer Simon Phillips, with Jeff Beck driving the material through crisp guitar lines and clean, contemporary production. “Star Cycle” became a notable opener and later a familiar theme through its use on BBC’s The Old Grey Whistle Test. Across pieces such as “The Pump” and “El Becko”, Beck shapes jazz-rock ideas into concise, highly polished instrumentals that helped define his early-80s sound.

Genre: Pop & Rock
