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.
