Jan Hammer, Himself:
We did one tune from scratch, which was called, "Blue Wind."
Jeff Beck, Himself:
And he said play this riff. The two - the two note - the de-de. I said, "Oh, come on. You know, this is kiddie stuff." You know, he went, "Trust me." And I didn't like it at all.
Jan Hammer, Himself:
It's a very simple riff and, you know, a combination of things and it - by the time, you know, I did the drums to it and my keyboard synthesizers.
Jeff Beck, Himself:
And he got these auratones and stuck them on his mantlepiece and cranked it and these speakers were shaking. I mean, okay, I get it now. It gave a great platform for solos and it was all about, you know, embellishing and showing off and taking flight with your solo.
