Crossroads 2007 has been airing on the OTA PBS HD channels lately. What a great 2 hours of jamming with some all time greats.

As usual, John Mayer played something nice. Derek Trucks is the closest thing to Duane I have ever heard....just love that slide! Bill Murray was his usual nut job, Steve Winwood was awesome playing Blind Faith through Traffic followed up by Buddy Guy himself. Lots of other greats here too but the one act that stuck out for me was Jeff Beck w/ Tal Wilkenfeld on bass. She is a 21 y/o Aussie that can hang with the top bassists. (Lots of Youtube vids) She also put out her own album not too long ago called Transformation that is more on the jazz-fusion line but still with some tradition. Tal recorded her first album, where she composed, arranged, produced and played bass on 7 intricate tracks with Wayne Krantz on guitar, Keith Carlock on drums, Geoffrey Keezer on Piano, and Seamus Blake on tenor sax.

Good 320kb MP3s available via link from this page http://jazzrockz.blogspot.com/2007/0...2007320kb.html I have already downloaded and converted to CD if anyone is interested.

Jeff Beck w/ Tal Wilkenfeld. Stanley Clarke watch out. there's a new sheriff in town. Think I'll keep my ear on her. She has played with the best. My opinion. :D

Me me me me me...I dig her

I got the Crossroads DVD for Chriistmas and finaly sat down to watch it. WOW she was the hit of the show. Had to do a search to find out who she was and do another search here to see if there was any talk about her. I was glade I caught it

I was able to download MP3 versions of her solo work Transformation. Quite good at Jazz as well as the Rock.

On my second listen of Transformation right now. Very listenable, this could become one of my favorites.

She sucks, i cant believe Jeff chose her as his touring bassist.
