A really unique take on the music of The Beatles – one that starts in the classic 60s years of the Blue Note label, and which moves into the more recent vocal work that's become the label's strongest calling card! All tracks are Lennon/McCartney numbers (sorry George & Ringo!) – and titles include "Can't Buy Me Love" by Grant Green, "Yesterday" by Lee Morgan, "Norwegian Wood" by Buddy Rich, "Hello Goodbye" by Bud Shank & Chet Baker, "A Day In The Life" by Grant Green, "Eleanor Rigby" by Stnaley Jordan, "Blackbird" by Tony Williams, "I've Just Seen A Face" by Holly Cole, and "Come Together" by Dianne Reeves & Cassandra Wilson.

A really heady collection of cuts – one that starts with jazz, and moves into a whole host of other righteous styles too – all to sum up a 70s mode that's as much about empowerment as it is peace! Think of the cuts here as being in the much farther reaches past the styles initiated by Impulse Records and the Coltrane generation – to a point where the artists here aren't just copying modal and spiritual jazz styles, but infusing them with all sorts of new inflections of their own – at a level that makes the whole collection a really wonderful discovery! As with previous volumes, there's titles here we never would have heard otherwise – and this CD features tracks from both Vols 5 and 6 of the vinyl version – titles that inlcude "Algunas" by Jimmy McGary, "Bless Your Soul" by Lucky Brown & The SGs, "Night In Tunisia" by A La Ala, "Cataracts" by Musica Orbis, "Januschka" by Frederic Rabold, "Little Boogum" by Federico Cervantes, "No Outlet" by Beaver College Modern Jazz Orchestra, "Night Eagle" by Cleveland Jazz All Stars, "Zimbabwe" by Ron Wilson Trio, "Shanti" by Jazz Yatra Sextett, and "One More For The Road" by Dahle Scott CD
