Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles. By John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Arranged by Eric Richards. For Jazz Ensemble (Score & Parts). Professional Editions-Jazz Ens. Grade 5. Published by Hal Leonard.
Commissioned by the US Army Jazz Ambassadors, this arrangement by Eric Richards shines new light on the beauty and depth of the 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. 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 climactic shout for the full ensemble. Nice!
