Editorial Reviews
Blow by Blow served as a new creative peak for Beck and is, to date, his most commercially successful release. Offering a one-two punch of ingenious production and imaginative soloing, the wonderfully unpredictable guitar genius meshes stinging Jazz-Rock with string arrangements and energetic rhythm for You Know What I Mean; Constipated Duck; Air Blower; Scatterbrain ; Stevie Wonder's Cause We've Ended as Lovers; Thelonius; Freeway Jam; Diamond Dust, and a clever arrangement of Lennon and McCartney's She's a Woman.

The tunes are well-written instrumentals. Jeff has a pretty good band backing him up – I especially like the rhythm section. The drummer is excellent, and while not a virtuoso, the bassist plays crisp and tasteful lines. I also love the tone he gets (sounds like a Fender Precision bass). The keyboard parts are great – lot of Fender Rhodes and (very funky) clavinet. It provides a nice backdrop. And of course we have the maestro himself Jeff Beck – the timbre, texture, and tone he gets out of his guitar is extraordinary. His playing alternately burns and is bittersweet, bordering on lachrymose.
The moods on this album range from upbeat and playful to wistful. My favorite tracks are closer to the jazz rock end of the spectrum like Freeway Jam and Scatterbrain, although I also enjoy the quieter tracks Cause’ we ended as Lovers and Diamond Dust. There really is something for everyone here. In fact, I would recommend this album to people who are not fans of jazz rock. This album only flirts with jazz rock and avoids the breakneck tempos, shredding, and odd chords/time signatures that I associate with the genre.
The production quality is excellent (thank you Sir George Martin). There does not appear to be any compression or distortion – the recording does not seem to be a victim of the loudness wars. There is also pretty good separation of instruments although sometimes the keyboards get buried. Also, the bass can get a bit loud here and there but not too often. The drums sound spectacular though!
All in all, this is one of the finest albums by Jeff Beck and one of the friendliest jazz rock albums I own. For those of you that want the volume turned up a bit on the jazz rock, you might enjoy the follow-up album Wired (1976). There is some absolutely sick playing on the album (includes Mahavishnu Orchestra alumni), although I don’t think that Wired is as cohesive and all-around awesome as Blow by Blow.
This is my fourth recent vinyl purchase off AMZ over the past three months. I must say this one is the best so far.
My audio equipment is all high-end so I know what to expect from it. I have both an analog and digital audio system, so I can get a good comparison of the "soundstage" each produces.
THIS album I know quite intimately and must say the reproduction really does posses the warmth I had hoped it would. Very crisp right out of the sleeve, clean, no pops, irregularities, or flaws. The engineering in this reproduction is done well in my opinion - segue between cuts is spot on (if you know this album then that should make sense). I won't ramble on further, just note that I do recommend this album.
I have also recently reviewed these albums;

The multichannel? Well, that's a different beast as they have decided to put him primarily in the rears with the rest of the band up front. It works, at first it's odd but then you kinda gel into it and it isn't as alarming. I believe track 6 he ventures back up front for a bit and then back to the rears. It's definitely a different effect utilized for the surround format, but I do prefer the 2 channel presentation or the Redbook layer for general and even critical listening. It's got some cool extras inside as well, which I won't spoil. Worth it, get it, enjoy it!
Funny thing, 30 years ago I didn't care too much for this - would have given it three stars. Too much into heavy fusion guitar at the time, ala Mahavishnu Orchestra and maybe Al Dimeola. While Blow by Blow is not really the antidote to heavy fusion, it now sounds like a fun breather, saying lighten up, jazz-rock doesn't have to be so hard. Which is easy for Jeff Beck to say, since he makes great music sound easy.
