Artist Biography
Studio and session guitarist Joe Beck was well known for hits when backing vocalist Esther Phillips on Kudu in the '70s, although his session credentials over the years also included the likes of Miles Davis, James Brown, Paul Simon, Frank Sinatra, and Gil Evans. During the '80s he made a series of competent fusion and pop-jazz recordings for DMP and had a big hit recording with Dave Sanborn on CTI in 1975. His career continued into the '90s and beyond with albums like 1991's Relaxin', 1997's Alto, and his 2000 collaboration with Jimmy Bruno, Polarity. Beck was active throughout most of the new millennium’s first decade with recordings on a variety of labels, including a number of CDs on Whaling City Sound, such as 2002's Just Friends, 2007's Tri07, 2008's Coincidence (a duo recording with John Abercrombie), and 2009's Golden Earrings. The latter album, featuring Beck and singer Laura Theodore performing music made famous by singer Peggy Lee, proved to be Beck’s final recording -- the guitarist was diagnosed with lung cancer soon after work on Golden Earrings had been completed and died from complications of the disease in July 2008 at age 62.

Biografía del artista
El guitarrista de estudio y de sesión Joe Beck era bien conocido por sus éxitos cuando apoyaba a la vocalista Esther Phillips en Kudu en los años 70, aunque sus credenciales de sesión a lo largo de los años también incluían a gente como Miles Davis, James Brown, Paul Simon, Frank Sinatra y Gil Evans. Durante los 80 hizo una serie de competentes grabaciones de fusión y pop-jazz para DMP y tuvo un gran éxito con Dave Sanborn en CTI en 1975. Su carrera continuó en los 90 y más allá con álbumes como Relaxin' de 1991, Alto de 1997, y su colaboración en el 2000 con Jimmy Bruno, Polarity. Beck estuvo activo durante la mayor parte de la primera década del nuevo milenio con grabaciones en una variedad de sellos, incluyendo varios CDs en Whaling City Sound, como Just Friends de 2002, Tri07 de 2007, Coincidence de 2008 (una grabación a dúo con John Abercrombie), y Golden Earrings de 2009. Este último álbum, en el que Beck y la cantante Laura Theodore interpretan música hecha famosa por la cantante Peggy Lee, resultó ser la última grabación de Beck: al guitarrista se le diagnosticó cáncer de pulmón poco después de terminar el trabajo de los Golden Earrings y murió por complicaciones de la enfermedad en julio de 2008 a la edad de 62 años.
