Featured Artist of the Week: NOEL & MARIA PRESENT: A JAZZ CELEBRATION OF THE BEATLES

John, Paul, George and Ringo. No last names needed. The Beatles were that iconic, innovative and influential. In less than ten years they redefined pop and rock and pointed the way as to how music would be created for the next 40 years. Not the least of their contributions may be a lexicon of songs that can stand up to reinterpretation and recasting into most any genre. Their masterful melodies and strong harmonic approach makes their music a perfect jumping off point for the masterful arranging of Noel Freidline and interpretation of Maria Howell. Join Noel & Maria and their all-star band as they present an evening of classic Beatles hits, songs you have definitely heard before but that you have never heard before, including “Let It Be,” “Blackbird,” “Eleanor Rigby,” “Can’t Buy Me Love” and many, many more.
