Bill Frisell, Kenny Wollesen, and Tony Scherr work a slow burn on "In My Life" next to a Brooklyn stoop during covid times. Bill recorded a full album of Lennon-penned songs in 2011 with this same rhythm section that I am sure we'll get to eventually. #jazzsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPNu...

Ella Fitzgerald - Can't Buy Me Love Recorded 4/7/1964. Released 3 months later. George Martin once claimed having created the arrangement but the sourcing (and one's own ears) lean towards Frank DeVol, who arranged the NY session tracks on Hello, Dolly! #jazzsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=njsD...
