Scott Freiman spends a lot of time in his studio as a composer, educator and musician. And he loves The Beatles. He scours the internet and record shows for rare tapes, outtakes, abandoned tracks and minutia about the most important musicians of the late 20th Century, The Beatles.
He proceeds to methodically peels back the layers to reveal how these amazing musicians constructed their masterpieces. Cool Cleveland interviewed Scott Freiman, who gives us a preview of his appearance here. Listen to the telephone interview here.
He wowed Clevelanders last year, and he’s about to do it again. On Fri 1/4, he tackles The Beatles’ first album, “Please Please Me,” and the events that led up to that momentous and legendary 10-hour session that produced such timeless classics as “I Saw Her Standing There,” and “Twist and Shout.”
Moving ahead, on Sat 1/5, he skips forward to many fans’ favorite Beatles album, “Revolver,” which foreshadowed the better-known “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” and included many of the latter’s famous studio tricks.
Then on Sun 1/6, he focuses his entire lecture on the three songs that might represent the absolute pinnacle of creativity for possibly the most creative band ever: “Strawberry Fields Forever,” “Penny Lane,” and “A Day In The Life.”
