    He was 78 and still rockin'.

    He started with the legendary "Yardbirds" but branched
    off into his own unique 'experimental' sound that was
    part blues, part jazz, part rock, part classical.

    He had just completed an album with Johnny Depp, not
    just an actor.

    I would suggest his "Live at Ronnie Scott's" DVD as
    a good sample. Audience members including Eric
    Clapton and Imogen Heap joined in. Paul McCartney
    could be seen in the seats, but he didn't go on
    stage. Beck's core group there was :

    Bass – Tal Wilkenfeld ... interesting unto herself,
    Aussie, went to US (with blessings) at about 13 and
    was almost immediately playing with legendary artists.

    Drums – Vinnie Colaiuta

    Keyboards – Jason Rebello
