Russ Freeman, Spyro Gyra, Chick Corea, Diana Krall, and George Benson... How can you go wrong? Diana Krall's sublime version of "And I Love Her" is , for me, the high point of the album, but just barely with George Benson's "The Long and Winding Road" falling right behind. In fact, there isn't a bad song on the album, just some that are less "good" than the rest.

If you are a smooth jazz fan, you will adore this album. If not, but you still like some form of jazz, you will find something on here for you listen to over and over again..

This review is from: I Got No Kick Against Modern Jazz: A Grp Artist's Celebration of the Songs of the Beatles (Audio CD)

Este cd contiene diversas interpretaciones que hicieran ex-artistas del gran sello GRP en el año 1995 sobre algunos temas emblemáticos de The Beatles. La producción musical es impecable, como siempre, y destacan los arreglos hechos por Groove Collective sobre "She's So Heavy"; la bella intro de "The long and Winding Road" por George Benson; inspiradísima versión de "And I Love Her" por Diana Krall; excelente la interpretación en el saxo por Nelson Rangell en el tema "Let It Be" y la versión en big bang de Arturo Sandoval sobre "Blackbird". La calidad de los intérpretes es magnífica. Muy recomendable.

Well, the Beatles are not the best material for jazz artists, not even smooth jazzers... However, some of the perfomances are quite subtle - McCoy Tyner really shines, for instance, Arturo Sandoval's band is really cooking, and I have never heard Diana Krall sounding better (BTW; I'm not her greatest fan)...

Well, if you like GRP-style music, this is the album for you, if not, wou can live without it.
