From the liner notes...

Beatles. Jazz. My musical world revolves between these poles. I met The Beatles February 9th, 1964, via The Ed Sullivan Show. I discovered jazz a few years later, through a cut-out copy of one of Herbie Mann's Live At Newport albums. Beatles. Jazz. That's what I like. That's what I know. That's who I am.

When I began tossing about ideas of a large-scale work for my nine-piece rock-jazz horn band BOZO allegro, it was only natural that I would think of doing The Beatles. Being ambitious, I decided to give an entire album the BOZO treatment. I chose Revolver, the pivotal album between The Beatles as cute pop songsters and innovative, influential musical artists.

I considered several different thematic approaches before I stumbled on the idea of pairing the fourteen songs from the original British release with the chronological development of African-American popular music. After I settled on and ordered my list of styles, it became an exercise of creativity to make the combinations of songs and styles work. I had a wonderful time. Enjoy the results. Thanks for coming to the party. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
