If somebody had put a gun to my head and said pick which artist you'd like to have worked with for your career, it would be Jeff Beck. I think Jeff over his career has been quite fantastic the way he has gone and his direction and the standards of his playing has always improved every year. I'm a great admirer of his playing; he's just been great. He's made some fantastic music. I'm a big fan as you can gather of Jeff.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Cozy Powell, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edrummer for the Jeff Beck Group Mach II\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJeff started off the whole beginning of his first tour in the U.S. at the bottom of the barrel.
