| | Alain Bashung Basies Beatle Back CD - Import Alain Bashung Discography of CDs
This is a collection of Beatles tunes as performed by Count Basie and his orchestra.
Somebody forgot to tell the jazz Count that the Fab Four were the enemies. While purists may disparage Basie's crossover attempt, precedents had already been set by his Quincy Jones arranged "Hits of the '50s & '60s," and "More Hits of the '50s & '60s." On board to handle the arrangements for this Beatle fest was the multi-talented Cuban-American, Chico O'Farrill.
All these tracks, whether they be slow ("Michelle"), medium ("All My Loving") or fast ("Help!"), swing hard thanks to the band that had defined the term 30 years before. Basie gives a ghostly backdrop to some of the tunes switching from piano to organ. Alto saxophonist Marshall Royall does a Johnny Hodges impersonation to the hilt with his reading of "Do You Want to Know a Secret." Yes, the British invasion was another nail in the proverbial coffin in which jazz was to remain for some time. But with combinations of material and style like this, rapprochement--maybe even a musical marriage--could not be far off.

The year Elvis left Sun Records to sign with RCA, Rusty Miller was born in Austin, Texas. As a kid growing up in California music for him meant The Beatles and whatever else was coming out of his radio. From Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash to Buffalo Springfield and Jim Croce, Rusty was singing everything he could. He got his first guitar at age 13 and as soon as he learned a few chords, he was writing his own songs. In high school Rusty discovered an amazing thing: he could play Elvis Presley and his classmates loved it. He became Yreka High School's resident celebrity performing at pep rallies and assemblies. Later, when he first heard "Take It Easy" by the Eagles he was hooked on that California country-rock sound. He now counts that band among his biggest influences, but gives equal credit to Dan Fogelberg, Jackson Browne, John Lennon and, the man he calls "the chosen one," Bob Dylan. In 1976, he experienced his first Grateful Dead concert, and their loose jams and tight grooves have inspired him ever since. He still adds a healthy dose of their songs to his shows because he counts Robert Hunter & Jerry Garcia tunes among the best ever written. Rusty likes to declare, "Elvis freed my body, Dylan opened my mind, Lennon set my spirit free and Garcia touched my heart."Rusty moved to Nashville in 1990 to perfect his songwriting skills. "Nashville's a hard town to get recognition in because of all the talent here but it's made me a better songwriter," he said. Nashville also presents other opportunities. Like many other artists, Rusty started out in radio. Since moving to Nashville he's worked with many music legends and upstarts too. Some of Rusty's legendary friends include: Emmylou ...
