Along with the female duo BONES was opened up a new world of Jeff “LOUD HAILER TOUR 2016”. That is the emergence of the latest live album. It began the tour from July 19 days, finished the North American leg of all 23 performances on August 21, is currently in the rest. In our shop, so far also the first day of “PORT CHESTER 2016 (Uxbridge 586)”, 3 performances eyes “MASHANTUCKET 2016 (Uxbridge 587)”, we have been reports in the powerful live album and 7 performances eyes “VIENNA 2016 (gift)” It was, but to deliver this time is the audience album of the second half, the 20 performances eyes “August 17, 2016 in Santa Rosa performances” of the North American leg.
As well as a masterpiece group of so far, this work also sounds great. Delicious musical sound and realistic field sense of muscular than anything else. To be referred to as “like a sound board” is’s the hot sound can be felt up to room temperature in the field, the core and the super near the first time in the thick is comparable to line recording. This week “50 YEARS OF JEFF BECK: HOLLYWOOD BOWL 2016 (Uxbridge 595)” is also appeared, work this two works are by the same recording house. Sound is also very similar, if there is that it is live album that was recorded the “50th anniversary concert of one night only”, this work is the sister operation just also say “normal concert version” after one week (By the way, this 2 venue is the same California, car is away for about 6 hours, Tokyo If say in Japan -. there is a distance of about between Osaka this recording house, it seems that it is exceptionally avid Jeff fan) .
Concert to be drawn in such a quality is, it stepped on the Bakazu “2016 model year JEFF BECK GROUP” is finally his best. In the past three works of “PORT CHESTER 2016”, “MASHANTUCKET 2016”, “VIENNA 2016” it is in the tour early, but was also seen in the firmness that immediately after the start of the innovation, this work is 20 performances eyes. Set is doing without only a problem in the song, but you have made the “You Know You Know” in the Mahavishnu Orchestra as “Beck’s Bolero” from “VIENNA 2016”, which neither Tenare. No longer “whether show” without any practice swing to worry about, “whether or not assembled”, is the performance to concentrate on playing the single-mindedly.
The degree of concentration is a place, such entanglement with vocals, “2016 type” maximum points. Rosie Bones of a new song BONES is, singing Jimmy Hall is a familiar song. In the new work, “LOUD HAILER”, but there was a little coquettish also “Women’s Voice” image to Rosie of singing voice, hear gaining or jerk self-confidence because you press the Bakazu in this work. Although age does not mean only the youthfulness disappear age, not to be outdone and replaced with Jimmy veteran, lightly argue with Jeff’s guitar in husky voices to just think the 70s of Marianne Faithfull. And, pick of the litter is still “Scared For The Children”. Among the delicate mood, singing voice became mix there is no cuteness and cradling of a tickle the mind, mischief guitar of Jeff further tickle. Not just beautiful in, you a new masterpiece that will downright pleasant disturb.

Place the “song” to the main shaft, there tangled like “LOUD HAILER TOUR 2016”. Its innovation is a gem that fully capture the also great performance of the North American leg late came into the hall in the Great a big-boned sound. It is a masterpiece as well as the live album to taste the “latest Jeff” but, if possible, a sister operation of the simultaneous release: I would like you to taste along with the “50 YEARS OF JEFF BECK HOLLYWOOD BOWL 2016”. While keeping the same as “song” to the main shaft, THE YARDBIRDS the number and the 50th anniversary concert, which drew a co-star of luxury guest team was completely different, is usually spread a view of the concert.
Delicious separately, further tasteful live album If you listen in conjunction with the 50th anniversary concert of the same recording house. This weekend, we will deliver to you your hand.

女性デュオBONESと共にジェフの新世界を切り拓いた“LOUD HAILER TOUR 2016”。その最新ライヴアルバムの登場です。7月19日から始まったツアーは、8月21日に全23公演の北米レッグを終え、現在は休養中。当店では、これまでも初日『PORT CHESTER 2016(Uxbridge 586)』、3公演目『MASHANTUCKET 2016(Uxbridge 587)』、7公演目『VIENNA 2016(ギフト)』と強力なライヴアルバムでレポートして参りましたが、今回お届けするのは北米レッグの後半、20公演目となる「2016年8月17日サンタローザ公演」のオーディエンス・アルバムです。
これまでの傑作群と同様、本作も素晴らしいサウンド。何よりも美味しいのは骨太の楽音とリアルな現場感覚。「まるでサウンドボード」と呼ぶには現場の室温まで感じられる熱いサウンドなのですが、極太の芯と激近ぶりはライン録音にも匹敵する。今週は『50 YEARS OF JEFF BECK: HOLLYWOOD BOWL 2016(Uxbridge 595)』も登場しますが、この2作は同じ録音家による作品。サウンドもよく似ており、あちらが“一夜限りの50周年コンサート”を記録したライヴアルバムだとすれば、本作はちょうど一週間後の“通常コンサート版”とも言える姉妹作なのです(ちなみに、この2会場は同じカリフォルニア州ですが、車で約6時間ほど離れており、日本で言うなら東京-大阪間ほどの距離がある。この録音家は、よほど熱心なジェフ・ファンだと思われます)。
そんなクオリティで描かれるコンサートは、場数を踏んだ“2016年型JEFF BECK GROUP”がいよいよ本領を発揮している。これまでの3作『PORT CHESTER 2016』『MASHANTUCKET 2016』『VIENNA 2016』はツアー序盤にして、新機軸のスタート直後ということで堅さも見られましたが、本作は20公演目。セットは『VIENNA 2016』から「Beck’s Bolero」とマハビシュヌ・オーケストラの「You Know You Know」を加えていますが、どちらも手慣れた曲だけに問題なくこなしている。もはや“どう見せるか”・“どう組み立てるか”を気にするそぶりもなく、ひたすらに演奏に集中するパフォーマンスなのです。
その集中度がヴォーカルとの絡み合いなところが、“2016年型”最大のポイント。新曲ではBONESのロージー・ボーンズが、お馴染みの曲ではジミー・ホールが熱唱。新作『LOUD HAILER』では、ロージーの歌声にややコケティッシュな“女子声”イメージもありましたが、本作では場数を踏んだせいかグッと自信を増して聞こえる。年齢が年齢だけに若々しさが消えるわけではありませんが、歴戦のジミーと入れ替わって引けを取らず、ちょうど70年代のマリアンヌ・フェイスフルを思わせるハスキー・ヴォイスで軽快にジェフのギターと渡り合う。そして、白眉はやはり「Scared For The Children」。繊細なムードの中、可愛らしさと妖しさがない交ぜになった歌声が心をくすぐり、ジェフの悪戯ギターがさらにくすぐる。単に美しいのではなく、なんとも心地よくかき乱してくれる新たな名曲なのです。

“歌”を主軸に起き、そこに絡みつくような“LOUD HAILER TOUR 2016”。その新機軸も堂に入ってきた北米レッグ後期の名演をグレイトな骨太サウンドで捉えきった逸品です。“最新のジェフ”を味わうライヴアルバムとしても傑作ですが、できるならば、同時リリースの姉妹作『50 YEARS OF JEFF BECK: HOLLYWOOD BOWL 2016』と一緒に味わっていただきたい。同じように“歌”を主軸に置きながら、THE YARDBIRDSナンバーや豪華ゲスト陣との共演を描いた50周年コンサートとはまったく違った、通常コンサートの景色が広がるのです。
単品でも美味しく、同録音家の50周年コンサートと併せ聴けばさらに味わい深いライヴアルバム。今週末、あなたのお手元へお届けいたします。
