Introducing Funk Up! The Beatles

Gabor Szabo - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

Having grown up in Hungary, Szabo moved to the US in the 50s and in a few years became one of the most respected jazz guitarists in the world. He frequently covered pop songs in his repertoire. This mellow, drawn-out version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" comes from his 1967 live album "More Sorcery". The album was assembled from performances recorded at both the Monterey Jazz Festival and the Jazz Workshop in Boston.
