BeatleJazz - With a Little Help From Our Friends - 2005 - Lightyear

This third album from BeatleJazz is on a par with the group’s two previous releases in concept and vision, presenting inventive jazz arrangements of the Beatles great music. This time the trio has got a little help from their friends, who happen to be some of the biggest names in jazz, and whose stellar contributions help lift this CD to another level. John Scofield (guitar), Michael Brecker (saxophone) , Randy Brecker (trumpet), and Mike Stern (guitar) all provide memorable guest performances. The repertoire choices are outstanding. The results are totally refreshing, full of musical virtuosity, but remaining true to the essence of each song. Listen to this amazing recording. VHR by A.O.O.F.C
