Eleanor Rigby—Lennon & McCartney/arr.
Eric Richards. Commissioned by the U.S.
Army Jazz Ambassadors, this Eric Richards
chart shines new light on the beauty and
depth of this classic Beatles hit. An up-tempo
Brazilian groove gives way to hints of samba
and songo, but always with a smooth and
laid-back feel. A piano solo is featured off the
top, followed by a trio of tenor, trombone and
guitar on the head, and later solo space for
one or more of these players. A brief nod to
the classical feel of the original Beatles track
helps build to a climatic shout for the full
ensemble. Nice!
