We are proud to present a very special episode: an interview with David Spinozza and Ken Ascher. Both played on Mind Games as well as other John Lennon albums; Spinozza also contributed to Ram and Ringo the 4th. We had a fascinating conversation not only about their experiences working with Lennon, McCartney, and Starr, but their lives as top studio musicians, why they believe the Beatles' music is timeless, and much more.

DAVID SPINOZZA will be performing live with his BEATLES BIG BAND PROJECT for a Sunday Brunch show at the CUTTING ROOM, NYC on Nov. 17 at 1pm. He will also have session player KENNY ASCHER in his band. https://thecuttingroomnyc.com/

Kenny also plays at the BIRDLAND JAZZ CLUB, NYC every Friday 5:30-7pm as part of the BIRDLAND BIG BAND! https://www.birdlandjazz.com/

The latest in our "Another Listen" series looks at Paul's 1989 comeback album. While the accompanying world tour performed phenomenally well, the album peaked at #21 on the US Billboard charts. Recent reviews have ranked several other albums above this one (no pun intended). Does it deserve this rating?
