What Beatles songs are better as covers?

There are many very interesting and very good jazz covers. John Scofield does a great "I Will," Herbie Hancock does an interesting "Norwegian Wood," I've heard that Mark Turner has a great cover of "She Said, She Said" (but I haven't heard it yet). read more

Bill Frisell has an entire album of Beatles and John Lennon covers, called "All We Are Saying," which I love. Al Di Meola has an entire album of Beatles covers, which I can't say I love as much as the Bill Frisell album, but which is worth hearing. Oh yeah, Chris Potter has "Yesterday" on his "Underground" album. read more

The sitar is beautiful. With a Little Help from My Friends – Joe Cocker. One the most famous covers of the Beatles. Simply brilliant. read more
