Al Di Meola covers the Beatles - extends 'Norwegian Wood' to 6-minute Arabian epic

"A lot of the songs of the Beatles felt to me very complete, because they had a voice, they had lyrics, and it was fine that the songs were two, three, four minutes. But as an instrumental, without the voice and the lyrics and the fact that it was me making the record, I felt like I had to give it something else, and not do a cover of the song, but my own interpretations" - jazz fusion guitarist Al Di Meola told All Music about his approach in Beatles' covers album 'Across the Universe'. 'Norwegian Wood' is a good example of it - a 2-minute pop song is remade into a 6-minute epic - listen below.
