the beatles meets jazz - en

yesterday, i’ve gone to the concert the beatles meets jazz with my mom. the tickets were sold at least before a week ago but luckily i’ve managed to go to concert thanks to the infamous luck of my mom in this kind of situations. i still cannot understand how one can watch this pretty concert just for 41 turkish liras. (2 dollars dude, 2 dollars!)

rustam rahmedov caz trio with the vocalist meriç çalışan were truly amazing! they started the gig with a good one; come together, and continued with here comes the sun, can’t buy me love, in my life, eleanor rigby, you never give me your money, while my guitar gently weeps, here there and everywhere, imagine, blackbird, the long and winding road, yesterday, hey jude and finally let it be.

pianist and vocalist lady even tried to make crowd sing hey jude and let it be in the end but barely managed it, it was quite a funny experience to see whole concert area to sing along with the band and fail.

yeah, that’s it. i’ve been away from the beatles for a while and this concert made me remember what i enjoy while listening to the beatles and made me feel a deep nostalgia and longing to a few a years ago when i was listening the fab four intensely.

now, i wish i’ve recorded a bit footage of concert just to watch after and make that moments everlasting. they all were so focused and i didn’t even want to miss a second of it, i totally forgot about my phone in my pocket.

i was expecting a cover-like style performance to be honest but they literally transformed the songs into a completely different thing. they definitely made the audience feel like they are listening to a cool jazz band in new york city, hahah, what a cool experience!
