Ivories, Well Tickled: An Occasional Series

Ever wonder what inspired Paul McCartney's way cool piano part on "Lady Madonna"?

Lyttleton was a homegrown Brit jazz guy, and the above was a big chart hit in England in 1956 (that's him on trumpet -- the piano was by Johnny Parker). Obviously, the record had a big impact on the teenage Macca.

Have a great weekend, everybody!!!
