Glass Onion
Arif Mardin's solo debut captures Atlantic Records' late-sixties studio magic, where arrangers moonlit as bandleaders between hitmaking sessions. The Turkish-born Berklee graduate reimagines the Beatles' cryptic title track through a jazz-soul lens, his charts coursing with the same sophisticated groove he'd been threading through Aretha Franklin's recordings.
More than a curiosity piece, Glass Onion documents the moment when pop arranging became an art form unto itself, Mardin's orchestral intelligence transforming contemporary rock material into something both respectful and righteously funky.
