  • Great for fans of Jazz music and the Beatles
    author: Ben Parker

    This CD is very well done, since Martan does a good job of putting a nice Jazz twist to some Beatle classics. The album stays true to the Beatles(so you actually can tell it's Beatles), yet at the same time, it has a very unique interpretation of the the Beatles, making it a great CD. If you like Jazz piano or the Beatles, I would highly reccomend this CD.
