Artistry - Imagination - Originality
Brian's rendition of Eleanor Rigby is a prime example of the riveting musical power, creativity and sense of humor that Brian brings to his arrangements. Taking a journey from "new age" introspection, Eleanor Rigby then bursts into jazz/rock fusion with the driving melody leading into jazz improvisation, then morphs into swing with an unexpected visit by the theme of the Pink Panther! Then it's back to a lilting melody before a final explosive burst of energy for the finale. You have to experience it to believe it.
