Product description
Perhaps one of the Beatles' lesser known tunes, Blackbird remains one of their most creative and memorable. Mike Tomaro's smooth setting uses a blend of light funk along with a brief samba section to create a truly outstanding effect. The theme is stated simply in the beginning on trumpet, followed by an array of orchestrational textures and harmonies.
John Lennon (1940-1980) was an English singer, songwriter and peace activist who became known worldwide as the founder and guitarist of The Beatles. Together with Paul McCartney, they formed one of the most successful songwriting teams in the history of popular music.
