Jack Becker -1954,the concept for Jack's music un-officially began when bands led by Ike Turner,Elvis,and B.B. King played house rockin’ rhythm and blues. There was a raw edge to the music...and it made the audience feel real good. Jack has shared the stage with some of Americas hottest players: Coco Montoya, Preston Smith, Marcie Levy (Eric Clapton), Larry Taylor (Canned Heat), Janiva Magness, and Henry Cooper (Screamin’ Jay Hawkins) to name a few. With over 1,000 gigs under his belt, Jack knows how to make an audience feel right athome. This Cd features Janiva Magness on a burning hot version of the Beat Goes ON.The Bono family loved it and gave their blessings on it.

1969
Spending too much time in south central L.A. and listening to way too much James Brown, Jack Becker acquired a taste for soul music and soul food. Having had the luck of seeing acts like Albert King, John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters at the local clubs, and combining that with a love for Merle Haggard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis, the sound of Jack Becker was born.
With a lineup of top musicians this band plays every song straight from the heart. A hell-raising time is guaranteed !
