Bek. Jef - One f no C (2023)

The debut album from this artist from USA.

Jef Bek plays all instruments here. A couple of vocalists has helped him out on female vocals.

No, this is not Jeff Beck. Jef Bek is a fulltime musician with a lot of TV, theatre, radio and movie work. He was also a member of Cheer Accident back in those years.

After a decade of silence, he released two albums last year. This one and a more band focused prog rock album. The latter one will be reviewed shortly.

The music here is a mix of musicals, rock opera, some rock and some Frank Zappa copycat weirdness.

It sounds like Frank Zappa is the big inspiration for this album.

The result is a decent album who manages to jump in all direction during this half an hour. Jef Bek has packed in a world full of weirdness and various music genres in that half an hour. 

I hope his other album is more focused... This is still a decent enough debut album.
