Sound Pictures: Producing the Beatles with Sir George Martin
Join us for a discussion by Ken Womack of the first multi-volume biography of George Martin. A detailed account of Martin’s work with The Fab Four as they advance beyond the success of their earlier recordings, Sound Pictures takes readers behind the scenes with stories of Martin’s interactions with the band, including when John Lennon, who hated the sound of his own voice, requested that Martin tweak his vocals: “Make me sound like the Dalai Lama chanting from a mountaintop.” Martin’s experimentation led to the creation of such classics as Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road but mounting pressures and challenges threatened their achievements. Read more...Adult Calendar
