Jan Hammer
The Jan Hammer Group was formed in 1976 and supported "The First Seven Days" on tour, receiving good reviews from both jazz and rock critics. The group turned out three LPs the following year: their own "Oh, Yeah?" and, with Jeff Beck, the RIAA platinum "Wired" (with Jan's "Blue Wind"), and "Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live", a chronicle of their 100-show tour together, certified gold. One final album by the group followed in 1977, "Melodies".
