And now that we are firmly in rock territory again, we'll stay with the Brits for a little while. We are going back in time to a band that spawned three of rock's greatest guitarists - but only two of them at a time. Jeff Beck was one of them - but who did he replace? On their second American album, Jeff Beck plays lead guitar on side A, while the other guitarist plays lead on side B. The song I am looking for was the first single of this band after Jeff Beck joined them, and it was written by Graham Gouldman, a teenager who a few years later went on to form 10CC. So, to sum up: What band, what song, what American album was it on, when was this album released, and who did Jeff Beck replace?

December 21 - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
Charles Mingus' Goodbye Pork Pie Hat was written about Lester Young, and I was looking for Jeff Beck and his Live At Ronnie Scott's from 2008. He won the 2009 Grammy for best rock instrumental for his interpretation of A Day In The Life by The Beatles.
