Arrangement Notes and RealAudio Samples

The samples on this page are for a fast (52) modem; use the other page, if you have a slow modem. You need a realaudio player or plug-in (version 5) to hear these samples.

Taxman
(African) The polyrhythmy of three against two in the rhythm section serves as a foundation for the call and response in the horns.

Eleanor Rigby
(Spiritual) An extensively reharmonized chorus and verse joins a slow, dramatic tempo with plenty of silence for effect; Reverend Bozo Mike delivers the sermon.

I'm Only Sleeping
(Gospel) A brisk backbeat hosts the duel between Sister Bozo C.J. and Brother Bozo Ruston on the twin testifying tenors.

Love You To
(Ragtime) One of the most radically transformed tunes, with the Harrison melody hidden in the sopranos if you want to look for it; Bozo Mark holds down the bottom on the Art Deco tuba.

Here, There And Everywhere
(Dixieland) A street parade in New Orleans, with Bozo C.J.'s obbligatos, Bozo Mike's tailgating, and Bozo Scott M's best Basin Street beat.

Yellow Submarine
(Big Band) Ringo meets Count Basie and Neal Hefti; the classic trumpet solo just happened to fit the chord changes, so who could resist?

She Said She Said
(Bebop) Charlie Parker on acid; Bozo Ruston and Bozo Alan nimbly navigate the twisted harmonic waters; the toughest tune to play, and the end of Side One.

Good Day Sunshine
(Blues) Side Two starts the strut down the street with the urban electric sound of Chicago; Bozo Scott D's guitar walks the walk and talks the talk.

And Your Bird Can Sing
(R & B) Down to Muscle Shoals; Bozo Alan and Bozo Mike do their best Sam and Dave; hold your baby close when the lights go low.

For No One
(Soul) A taste of Memphis, with stylistic tips of the hat to Al Jackson, Jr., Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper; Bozo Ruston and Bozo Diane fight it out for Curtis's crown.

Doctor Robert
(Funk) James Brown and George Clinton get their prescriptions filled; Bozo Scott D takes his medicine like a man and lets his Strat sass the nurse.

I Want To Tell You
(Reggae) Jamaica, say you will; George's original guitar line transmogrifies into the bubble, Bozo Ron does the skank, and Bozo C.J.'s soprano slinks all the way home to Kingston.

Got To Get You Into My Life
(Fusion) Specifically, side one of Miles' Jack Johnson; Bozo Alan channels The Sorcerer and Bozo Ruston evokes Mr. Shorter; ultimately, the entire band oozes into the (B)ozone.

Tomorrow Never Knows
(Hip-hop) A classic bass line from the good ole days, a rap from the Tibetan Book Of The Dead, and the Bozos queue up for closing arguments.
