Jeff Beck continues celebration of Les Paul

Jeff Beck paid fitting Tribute to Les Paul last summer, celebrating what would have been the pioneering guitarist's 95th birthday by playing his friend and mentor's music, along with classic tunes from the era, in the same Times Square nightclub that Paul played every Monday for 14 years before his death in August 2009.

Billed as 'A Celebration of Les Paul,' Beck was joined by The Imelda May Band at the Iridium Jazz Club in June 2010. Other guest performers joining Beck onstage included Brian Setzer, Gary 'U.S.' Bonds, and Trombone Shorty.

'Les was my inspiration,' says Beck. 'For years I had always wanted to do something for Les to show him how much I respected and admired what he had done. Les used to play every week at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City, so for me it was the obvious and fitting place for a 'Salute' to him.'

A CD of this exclusive show, featuring 20 live tracks from the evening will be released, on February 21st along with Blu-Ray and DVD also out on February 21st. They will include seven extra live performances as well as bonus footage and interviews.

Following these releases, Beck will take the 'Rock 'n' Roll Party' on the road for a short U.S. tour. Beck will once again be backed by The Imelda May Band and its enchanting singer Imelda May, who joined Beck on stage at the 2010 Grammy Awards for a rendition of Paul's 'How High The Moon.' Tickets are on sale now.
