A number of progressive jazz artists have been invited to recreate and re-interpret the Beatles’ seminal 1967 ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ with a new album released on vinyl this January. Contributors include multi-award winning British Saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings and his band The Ancestors taking on ‘Good Morning Good Morning’ while US drummer Antonio Sanchez performs the opening title track and bassist Miles Mosely (from LA’s West Coast Get Down) plays ‘Lovely Rita’.
The verve record label says after five decades this is a great chance to revisit an album that “remains the gold standard of musical innovation”, Danny Bennett, President & CEO says “The record not only changed the course of musical history but defined a generation and remains timeless. Each artist was given the challenge to create a work that would push the musical envelope by presenting an impressionistic rendering of a favourite song from ‘Pepper’. I’m proud to say that what you hear are enduring interpretations wholly original, which more than exceeded my expectations.” ‘A Day In The Life: Impressions of Pepper’ Track Listing: from www.jazzfm.com |
