As a follow-up to December’s hugely successful Frank Zappa tribute concert, which found the UH Hilo Jazz Orchestra performing alongside Frank Zappa’s son and accomplished musician Dweezil Zappa, comes a concert dedicated to the music of The Beatles. The show will feature some of the Beatles best-loved songs with a focus on the later half of their recording career. Selections from the albums Revolver, Abbey Road, Magical Mystery Tour and the White Album (The Beatles) will be presented. The band will also perform several songs from the groundbreaking album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Musical Director Trever Veilleux says “The impact the Beatles had on popular music cannot be overstated. Their songs have become ingrained in our collective culture and continue to be loved by younger generations. We’ve had so much fun putting this show together! We’ll be playing everything from hard rocking songs like “Helter Skelter,” to beautiful ballads like “Yesterday.” Lennon and McCartney were master songwriters and learning this music has been a real treat. The musicians in the UH Hilo Jazz Orchestra do an amazing job injecting youthful energy into this great music.”
The show will also feature dancing and choreography by Dori Yamada and the 5,6,7,8s. “The Beatles are in a category all by themselves. The mark that they left on music, fashion, and pop culture can still be felt and seen today over fifty years later. To celebrate their music with Trever and the Jazz Orchestra is a fun way to pay tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time. We hope we can bring some of their irreverence, joy and passion to the show in our own way” says Yamada.
