One of my worst nightmares would be listening to a Jazz Beatle Album. Man alive! I'd give up any and all secrets i had just to get it to stop.

Jazz is GREAT and I'll not have any anti-jazz sentiments here…

Jazz is the worst kind of music (if we can even call the monstrosity music) ever created or imagined.

(Not to mention a #2 chart hit, kept out of the top spot by "Meet The Beatles" - a sign of the future)

Update on the Lennon-hated-jazz thing: I found passing praise of Stan Getz (specifically the 1964 Getz/Gilberto album collaboration) in the February Playboy Interview of the Beatles.

That is a great album; interesting to see John liked it.

This guy has compiled EVERY mention of the Beatles in Playboy magazine from 1964 through '72! Including innumerable ads for record albums with a stray cover of "Michelle" or random out-of-context use of the phrase "hard day's night". Interesting reading.

Would like to know the best album list.

Long John Silver said

Lennon hated jazz?

He apparently used to claim to dislike it during his art-college student days. (Of course it's just as likely that he really just hated the sorts of people - beatniks! - who listened to it at the time. There was a real divide between rock 'n rollers and jazzbos back in those days, of course.)

(And hey he and Yoko recorded with alto-man John Tchicai once, anyways! And what about the MJQ getting signed to Apple?!)

Anyways this isn't really news - Herbie Hancock did that "Imagine Project" thing a couple of years ago.

It's got Beatles and solo songs, everything from Rain to Across the Universe to Working Class Hero.

 

JAZZ!??

 

I have to admit, some of it's not terrible, lol.

 

If you check it out, I'd be interested in reading your thoughts/comments. Whatever you do, don't shoot the messenger!
