JOHN DAVERSA: „A while ago, a good friend of mine asked me to write a ‚Daversafied’ arrangement of a classic BEATLES tune. I thought to myself, ‘wow, what a monumental challenge!’ How do you take such classic material, remain reverent to the original intention and spirit of the BEATLES, create a fresh vision with new twists and turns – and make it identifiably your own, ‘Daversafy” it? The challenge intrigued me so much I created a full-length album for the big band. Let’s go! I’ve since delved deep into the immensely rich BEATLES catalog and fallen in love–as so many music lovers have. With KALEIDOSCOPE EYES, I’ve ‚reimagined’ the music for the JD Big Band personalities and expanded the instrumentation to include tuba, bassoon, oboe, alto flute, piano, string section, a chorus of singers, and more – truly an expanded Large Jazz Ensemble! Vocalist Renee Olstead and spoken word artist, Katisse Buckingham also joins us on the album.“
