[Dixielandjazz] Beatles Songs and Jazz

[Stephen G Barbone]

Here is a list of Jazzed up Beatles songs by various famous bands/ 
artists, (mostly modern) that I compiled a few years ago when looking  
for Beatles Songs to play in OKOM style.

Then I came across the BeatleJazz Albums (4 or so that take Beatles  
songs to another dimension) which include some of these, and more.

By then I had enough to pick and choose what would fit best with our  
band, so I quit adding to the list

So Many Beatles Songs, So Little Time. <grin>

Note to Bill Sharp. We play before several different kinds of  
audiences. Some 90% under 30. Not too many Beatles Fans there. Some to  
folks 90% over 75. Not too many Beatles Fans there either. At 76, my  
own popular music tastes were formed prior to the Beatles and I  
suspect, for the same reason, that most people my age or older are not  
strong Beatles fans. (but they might be Elvis Fans)

I think a real  Beatles "Fan" would recognize most, if not all of the  
below listed songs.

I also think most of us old" folks would be astounded at the huge size  
of the Beatle Songbook. The below list just scratches the surface.

Cheers,
