BACK IN 2015, Swiss guitarist Nicolas Meier was playing a low-key gig with violinist Lizzie Ball at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London. Nothing about it seemed out of the ordinary at first, until Meier spotted somebody who looked familiar near the foot of the stage. “It was Jeff Beck,” he says. “He had come to see Lizzie play. I couldn't believe it. You never think a guy like that is going to be watching you from only a few feet away.”
