The answer is simple; like the classic songs of Cole Porter, George \u0026amp; Ira Gershwin, Rodgers \u0026amp; Hart, Harld Arlen, and Irving Berlin, Beatles's songs and melodies are timeless and lend themselves perfectly to jazz improvistion and repeated reinterpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'We love the melodies, we have an eclectic and playful approach to music, we like more than jazz, and we constantly find new ways to interpret this great material. This time we wanted to explore more of the soul-funk side of The Beatles. The starting point was our rediscovery of George Harrison's funky groove and bittersweet lyrics in the song 'Taxman' from the masterpiece Revolver.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRubber Soul Quartet invited our friend, the versatile soul-funk-blues vocalist Stina Stenerud, to sing on eight tracks. We also introduced the electric Fender Jazz Bass, the Fender Rhodes and the baritone saxophone to add some new colours to our musical playground. This recording - made in Halden, Norway, during four cold winter days, completes a musical trilogy. As with our two previous albums, 'Blackbird'(LOS2542) and 'Something' (LOS2752), both mainly instrumental, the goal is not to copy, but to improvise, swing and have fun; to disassemble the musical building blocks - and put them back together again. Hope you enjoy the puzzle!' - Torstein Ellingsen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBard Helgerud: electric guitar, background vocals\u003cbr\u003eHavard Fossum: tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone\u003cbr\u003eAndreas Dreier: double bass, electric bass\u003cbr\u003eTorstein Ellingsen: drums, percussion\u003cbr\u003eStina Stenerud: vocals\u003cbr\u003eAnders Aarum: Fender Rhodes piano (7, 8, 10)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded February 2024 at Athletic Sound, Halden, Norway\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThings We Said Today\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Want To Hold Your Hand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaxman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile My Guitar Gently Weeps\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Will\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan't Buy Me Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrawberry Fields Forever\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoctor Robert\/I've Got A Feeling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Long And Winding Road\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet Back\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419496403329,"sku":"2465984","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/7090025832956.jpg?v=1750562199","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2465984","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
