Jazzed Up Beatle Tunes.......2006-02-11

This is an incredible album especially if you are just getting your toes wet with light jazz. For the Jazz purist, this would probably be too contemporary. Highlights are Nelson Rangell's sax on "let It Be', Arthuro Sandoval's version of 'Blackbird' and George Benson's version of 'Long And Winding Road'. But don't sell the rest of the disc short - Diana Krall's version of 'And I Love Her' shines. Not a bad cut on this album.

Secretly the best jazz CD of the last decade.......2003-09-14

I bought this for George Benson's "The Long and Winding Road", being a big fan of orchestration. All the other songs are worthy of airplay but get none. Each one has an original sound and a different artist. My favorites are "Michelle" and "The Fool on the Hill". Apparently, many are missing out because people I play this CD for really like it once they hear it. It has been my favorite jazz CD since its release but I'm the only one I know who owns it.

Beatles + Jazz = 5 Stars.......2001-03-15

If you're like me, and love the Beatles as well as jazz, then this album is for you. Here you have everything from piano solos, jazz trios, jazz vocals, and larger ensembles. The arrangements and improvisations are brilliant, and I am quite sure that even those who aren't that familiar with jazz will enjoy this album. Especially if they enjoy Beatles songs. I really cannot pick a favourite from this album, they are all so good. Really has to be heard to be appreciated.

A Different Twist to Beatles Covers.......2000-08-22

I like this one better than Come Together: America Salutes the Beatles (although there were some great performances on it). That one I recommend to country fans. However, this review is about a collection of jazz renditions of Beatles songs and came out just months before The Beatles Anthology television special. If you like jazz or just like all things Beatles, you'll love this!

This CD opens with George Benson doing "The Long and Winding Road" more romantically than the original. Tom Scott plays a nice sax on "The Fool on the Hill". Chick Corea plays a simple piano solo on "Eleanor Rigby". Lee Rittenour plays a nice guitar improvization on "A Day In the Life". Nelson Rangell's sax on "Let It Be" is melancholy. The highlights for me are Spyro Gyra's "In My Life", David Benoit's lovely rendition of "Here, There, and Everywhere", and Arturo Sandoval's lively take on "Blackbird" (on this one, the horns supply a majestic introduction). The compilation closes with Dave Grusin doing a bluesy piano solo on "Yesterday" (which is supposedly the most covered Beatles tune ever). Also, Peter Max, popular artist back in the 1960's, offers some surrealistic artwork.

Not Too Darn Fast For Me!.......2000-08-15

...If you're into collecting all things Beatles or just like good jazz, you're sure to like this compilation.

George Benson opens with the romantic twist on "The Long & Winding Road". My favorite selections include Chick Corea's simple acoustic piano solo on "Eleanor Rigby", Tom Scott's alto sax on "The Fool On The Hill", David Benoit's lovely "Here, There, and Everywhere", Spyro Gyro's reading of "In My Life", Lee Ritenour's jazzy guitar licks on the surrealistic "A Day In The Life", and the lively rendition of "Blackbird" (I love those trumpets!). Dave Grusin closes with a bluesy piano solo for his reading of "Yesterday".
