Perhaps one of the Beatles' lesser known tunes Blackbird remains one of their most creative and memorable. Mike Tomaro's smooth setting uses a blend of light funk along with a brief samba section to create a truly outstanding effect. The theme is stated simply in the beginning on trumpet followed by an array of orchestrational textures and harmonies.
