O’s Notes: Guitarist Harrison is focused on the works of Beatle GEORGE Harrison. It is more than just a minor makeover of Beatle tunes. Joel uses these classics as a basis for his improvisation taking rock and rock to contemporary jazz-fusion, sometimes with a slight country twist. Some of the best translations are “The Art of Dying”, “Here Comes The Sun” and “My Sweet Lord” where Joel plays slide guitar and sings.
