In the 1960's the monumental success of The Beatles re-wrote the language of pop, drove a revolution in social mobility and prompted a new creative confidence in the arts. They re-defined what it was to be British. By 1966 The Beatles were untouchable and in expansive mood - 'Revolver' found them drawing on an eclectic, wholly unprecedented palette of musical colours. George Martin's passion for the impressionism of Debussy and Ravel and his knowledge of the inner workings of the orchestra facilitated the group's ambitions which culminated in 'Sgt. Pepper'; a stunning synthesis of Modern and Indian classical music, electronic and avant-garde procedures, progressive jazz and surrealist poetry. In Britain, The Beatles' fearless pioneering prepared an enlightened audience for such indelible cultural landmarks as Lindsay Anderson's highly subversive if and Patrick McGoohan's dark fairytale, The Prisoner; radical productions which, like The Beatles in their pomp, struck at the very heart of the Establishment. 'Into the Sixties' is a panorama of the visionary musical forces that inspired The Beatles and such contemporaries as The Pink Floyd and The Mothers of Invention in their explosion of the decade. From Ornette Coleman to Coltrane to Cage, from Sun Ra to Stockhausen, from Berio to Varese; musical prophets, spiritual adventurers. What jazz critic John Fordham wrote of Coltrane might apply to each: \"He always sounded as if he was striving for what still lay out of reach. It wasn't just the search for more music, or a different music. It sounded like the search for another world, and another life\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaphne Oram -Ursa Major (Sun Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 2Ornette Coleman- Monk and the Nun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gustav Holst- Jupiter the Bringer of Jollity from the Planets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus \/ Sir Malcolm Sargent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Olivier Messiaen -L'alouette Lulu from Catalogue D'oiseaux (Yvonne Piano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e John Coltrane -Spiritual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jimmy Giuffre 3- Flight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Morton Feldman- Piece for Four Pianos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ravi Shankar- Dhun Kafi (Spring Season)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Aldous Huxley- on Drugs Dictators and Writing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Charles Mingus- Self-Portrait in Three Colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Allen Ginsberg- the Sunflower Sutra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jean Sibelius- Allegro Molto Moderato from Symphony 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Royal Philharmonic Orchestra \/ Sir Thomas Beecham\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Edith Sitwell -The Wind's Bastinado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Julian Bream Consort -Mounsiers Almaine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jimmy Smith- Flamingo (With Kenny Burrell ; Lee Morgan)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Maurice Ravel- Introduction and Allegro for Harp Flute Clarinet and String Quartet (The Melos Ensemble)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bill Evans Trio- Nardis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pierre Boulez- Après \"L'artisanat Furieux\" from Le Marteau Sans Maître.
