Jan Hammer

Was curious if there are any Jan Hammer fans here. I remember albums like Wired he did with Jeff Beck. His Minimoog solo technique was cutting edge. He also wore his Minimoog around his neck.
A custom build I believe. Also I remember There and back another album Jeff Beck released. Back then a lot jazz rock fusion albums were down with just a fender Rhodes EP and a Minimoog and
Sometimes a Horner clarinet. On wired Jeff and Jan T trade solos and sometimes it was difficult to tell who was soloing, Jan’s technique was so good at sounding like a guitar, between pitch bending and modulation he helped define what a Minimoog solo was capable of. A hard act to follow.
