Jimmy Page is an English musician and songwriter, renowned for his role as the lead guitarist and producer of the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin. Born on January 9, 1944, in Heston, Middlesex, England, Page began his music career as a session musician in the 1960s before achieving global fame with Led Zeppelin from late 1968 to 1980. Page is widely regarded as one of the most influential guitarists in the history of rock music, known for his technical skill, innovative guitar solos, and distinctive sound characterized by his frequent use of alternate tunings and a bow on guitar strings.

After the disbandment of Led Zeppelin following the death of drummer John Bonham, Page pursued a variety of solo projects and collaborations, often tapping into his blues and rock roots. He released his solo album "Outrider" in 1988, which showcased his mastery over the instrument outside the group dynamic. Throughout the subsequent years, Page's work included live performances and recordings that celebrated his enduring legacy, like "Live at the Greek," a collaboration with The Black Crowes, and various arrangements of the iconic Led Zeppelin track "Kashmir," reimagined for different ensembles and genres. His music continues to influence and be celebrated by generations of musicians and fans, with performances such as the "Midnight Moonlight (Live)" and "Custard Pie (Live)" reminding listeners of his unparalleled prowess in the live setting.
