"Wired" is a 1976 solo album by Jeff Beck. It was this album that started a fruitful collaboration with former Mahavishnu Orchestra keyboardist Jan Hammer who Beck toured with shortly thereafter. Beck and Hammer interplay extensively between each other somewhat similar to the way Hammer would counter John McLaughlin in the Mahavishnu Orchestra by making his synthesizer sound almost indentical to a guitar. Beck also brought in another Mahavishnu alumni, drummer Narada Michael Walden who composed 3 of the tracks. The result was a more "synthesized" sound, hence its title, Wired. Some tracks included members of the "Blow by Blow" lineup which were recorded during those sessions but were left off that album and carried over to Wired.

One of the most highly praised tracks was Beck's interpretation of the Charles Mingus classic "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat". This track has been performed many times in Beck's concerts.
