Drawing on his extensive background in jazz, Brazilian music, rock, and blues, Bill Kopper brings a unique perspective to Beck’s groundbreaking style, which blended virtuosic technical mastery with emotional depth. Bill is a professor of guitar at the University of Colorado, has performed and taught around the world, and his diverse musical influences and expertise give this tribute a distinctive flavor.
From Beck’s early work with The Yardbirds to his pioneering fusion of rock, blues, and jazz in his solo career, this concert promises a powerful performance that honors Beck's genre-defying artistry.
(A quote from Bill Kopper):
“Jeff Beck was worlds apart from anyone else in the rock scene. He seldom had a singer with him because his guitar was the voice. His solos played the melody. He was the consummate sound master, utilizing the whammy bar with a concert violinist's sense of intonation. He played like a god, with cult-like status and owned the thing without cliche.”
