O’s Notes: The Beatles were a musical force in the 1960s changing the shape of music on many fronts. At one point their singles occupied all of the top five spots on Billboard’s Pop Charts! Their music has become a basis for reinterpretation by artists across all genres. Larry Coryell (g), Vincent Herring (sax), Sheila Jordan (vocals), Eric Reed (p), Randy Johnson (g), Wesla Whitfield (vocals) and Norman Simmons (p) take on some of the most popular and lesser known songs from The Beatles catalogue with a decided jazz focus. Simmons take on “Eleanor Rigby” is among the best.
