Arrangements by Mark Browning Milner\n\nProduced by Mark Browning Milner and Matthew Zimmerman\n\n(C)1998 Marx Music, P.O. Box 130665, Roseville, MN 55113\nAll rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication is a violation of applicable laws (so don'teven think about it).\n\n[inside-1]\n*Beatles*. *Jazz*. My musical worldrevolves between these poles. I met The Beatles February 9th, 1964, via *The Ed Sullivan Show*. I discovered jazz a few years later, through a cut-out copy of one of Herbie Mann's *Live At Newport* albums. Beatles. Jazz. That's what I like. That's what I know. That's who I am.\n\nWhen I began tossing about ideas of a large scale work for my nine-piece rock-jazz horn band *BOZO allegro*, it was onlynatural that I would think of doing TheBeatles. Being ambitious, I decided to give an entire album the BOZO treatment. I chose *Revolver*, the pivotal album between The Beatles as cutepop songsters and innovative, influential musical artists.\n\nI considered several different thematic apporoaches before I stumbled on the idea of pairing the fourteen songs fromthe original British release with thechronological development of African-American popular music. After I settledon and ordered my list of styles, it became an exercise of creativity tomake the combinations of songsand styles work. I had a wonderful time. Enjoy the results. Thanks for coming to the party. A spendid time is guaranteed for all. *--Mark Browning Milner*\n\n[inside-2]\nRuston Reynolds [photo with horns]\nC.J.

1. BOZO allegro - Taxman (02:38)
   (African): The polyrhythmy of three against two in the rhythm section serves as a foundation for the call and response in the horns.
2. BOZO allegro - Eleanor Rigby (04:23)
   (Spritual): An extensively reharmonized chorus and verse joins a slow, dramatic tempo with plenty of silence for effect; Reverend Bozo Mike delivers the sermon.
3. BOZO allegro - I'm Only Sleeping (03:10)
   (Gospel): A brisk backbeat hosts the duel between Sister Bozo C.J. and Brother Bozo Ruston on the twin testifying tenors.
4. BOZO allegro - Love You To (01:49)
   (Ragtime): One of the most radically transformed tunes, with the Harrison melody hidden in the sopranos if you want to look for it; Bozo Mark holds down the bottom on the Art Deco tuba.
5. BOZO allegro - Here, There And Everywhere (02:29)
   (Dixieland): A street parade in New Orleans, with Bozo C.J.'s obbligatos, Bozo Mike's tailgating, and Bozo Scott M's best Basin Street beat.
6. BOZO allegro - Yellow Submarine (04:09)
   (Big Band): Ringo meets Count Basie and Neal Hefti; the classic trumpetsolo just *happened* to fit the chord changes, so who could resist?
7. BOZO allegro - She Said She Said (03:22)
   (Bebop): Charlie Parker on acid; Bozo Ruston and Bozo Alan nimbly navigate the twisted harmonic waters; the toughtest tune to play, and the endof Side One.
8. BOZO allegro - Good Day Sunshine (03:49)
   (Blues): Side Two starts the strut down the street with the urban electric sound of Chicago; Bozo Scott D's guitar walks the walk and talks thetalk.
9. BOZO allegro - And Your Bird Can Sing (01:50)
   (R&B): Down to Muscle Shoals, where Bozo Alan and Bozo Mike do their best Sam and Dave; hold your baby close when the lights go low.
10. BOZO allegro - For No One (03:45)
    (Soul): A taste of Memphis, with stylistic tips of the hat to Al Jackson, Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper; Bozo Ruston and Bozo Diane fight it outfor Curtis's crown.
11. BOZO allegro - Doctor Robert (01:54)
    (Funk): James Brown and George Clinton get their prescriptions filled;Bozo Scott D takes his medicine like a man and lets his Strat sass thenurse.
12. BOZO allegro - I Want To Tell You (02:48)
    (Reggae): Jamaica, say you will; George's original guitar line transmogrifies into the bubble, Bozo Ron does the skank, and Bozo C.J.'s soprano slinks all the way home to Kingston.
13. BOZO allegro - Got To Get You Into My Life (04:09)
    (Fusion): Specifically, side one of Miles' *Jack Johnson*; Bozo Alan channels The Sorcerer and Bozo Ruston evokes Mr. Shorter; ultimately, the entire band oozes into the (B)ozone.
14. BOZO allegro - Tomorrow Never Knows (04:56)
    (Hip-hop): A classic bass line from the good ole days, a rap from the *Tibetan Book of the Dead*, and the Bozos queue up for closing arguments.
