It can be said that "Yoko Meets John" is about the blossoming of a musical friendship, or it can be said to be about the discovery of the common spiritual ground in cultures from two far-flung continents and its expression through Chicago blues, swing, bop and straight-ahead free jazz. But perhaps it's mostly about serious musicians rediscovering and exploring the humor and creative tension in relationships as well as in some wonderful, rhapsodic and meaningful music.
