Teasing the Korean Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 When I was young(er), the Beatles epitomized the 60s. Now, the sixties are all about Brasil 66, Burt Bacharach, Bossa Nova, Italian soundtracks, etc. I almost never listen to the Beatles, and prefer jazz and sleazy listening covers of their tunes - especially covers of their psychedelic numbers by aging jazzers. These are so much more subversive than the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasing the Korean Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 TTK, you might want to check this out (if you don't already have it): I bought it and immediately unloaded the Beatles' own inferior interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 In spite of the Ellington sides, I avoided jazz covers of Beatle tunes. Thanks for putting them in one place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellington's version of "All My Loving" sounds like an outtake from "Afro Bossa." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I obviously missed that one way back when. I will try to listen tonight. Thanks Ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 my favorite Beatle cover was by Dexter Gordon, of "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'll give it a listen! AccuJazz has its own Beatle Jazz station. Much of what I have heard has been later-Beatle compositions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
