We’ve been through a lot of Beatles covers in the past (and the links are live again). To mark the 50th anniversary of the pivotal Sullivan shows, here is something a little different: a mix of jazz and soul (and early fusion) instrumental covers.

There might be jazz, but there’s very little jazzy noodling going on. Arif Mardin might go a bit psychedelic during “Glass Onions”, as does Steve Marcus on “Rain”, Mongo Santamaria might go on a trip halfway through his song, and Jim Caravan might take some serious liberties with “A Day In The Life” after a faithful start, but Jonah Jones de-cheeses “Michelle”, and Shirley Scott’s version of “Get Back” has enough energy to light up New York City during one of its famous powercuts. It’s all great stuff. --- halfhearteddude.com
