The Beatles - A Jazz Tribute. Various Artists

Larry Coryell, Shelia Jordan, Vincent Herring, Randy Johnston, Joel Harrison, Norman Simmons, Wesla Whitfield, Eric Reed

Composed by: The Beatles - A Jazz Tribute - Celebrating 50 Years

Jazz artists from Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker, Ahmad Jamal, Miles, even Coltrane all relied on "Tin Pan Alley," Broadway and the then current pop tunes as a basis for much of their most enduring recordings. To hear such respected jazz artists as those listed above re-casting songs written by the Fab Four, is evidence, if any is needed, that as popular composers, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison can probably be considered as leading voices in the "New Pop Standard" repertoire. The cast of star performers here includes Larry Coryell, Shelia Jordan, Vincent Herring, Randy Johnston, Joel Harrison, Norman Simmons, Wesla Whitfield and Eric Reed.
