Beck’s Bolero

Beck's Bolero is a short, rock-based instrumental piece heavily influenced by Maurice Ravel's Bolero, recorded by Jeff Beck with Jimmy Page on guitar, John Paul Jones on bass, Nicky Hopkins on piano, and Keith Moon on drums. The song was first released as the b-side of a Jeff Beck solo single on 25 March 1967, and was later on released on the 1968 album Truth. The single charted at Number 14 on the UK charts.
Beck's Bolero is considered by many critics to be an important work in the early proto development of both the heavy rock and progressive rock genres.

Beck's Bolero was recorded at IBC Studios on 16 May 1966. John Entwistle was scheduled to play bass but couldn't attend, so John Paul Jones was called in as a last minute replacement.Beck, Page, Hopkins, Jones and Moon planned to record an album, but contractual obligations prevented them from recording together again, and this was the only song from that session that was released, as a b-side. Moon couldn't leave The Who and he arrived at the studio during the sessions in disguise so no one would know he was playing with another band. Beck later claimed that Townshend glared like daggers at me after he found out about the recording sessions.
