CD Reviews

A new way to hear the Beatles' songs
08/25/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I've been a fan of John Pizzarelli for some time now. As a guitarist and interpreter of jazz standards he has no equal. His interpretations of some of these songs by The Beatles helps shed new light on these classic songs. While a few of the ballads tend to drag a bit, the arrangements are wonderful. The best moments are the swing arrangements done in the style of the big bands. The band sounds great! The best song on the CD though, in my opinion, is "For No One"...Not one of McCartney's better known songs, it nonetheless represents some of his finest lyric writing. hearing John give it a new and more sensitive reading brought tears to my eyes."

"After seeing the concert on t.v the album was a compulsory buy. Great arrangements from Don Sebesky compliment Pizzarelli`s Chet Baker like vocals.As ever,Ray Kennedy`s swinging piano playing shines through,and John`s unique sounding guitar playing is a pleasing treat.All in all a great way to sell good musicianship to the "not so"jazz fan."
