The Beatles played their last advertised public concert on 29 August 1966 at Candlestick Park, San Francisco. With the Beatles' schedule now dramatically less intensive, Paul McCartney revelled in the London arts scene, meeting Peter Blake and Richard Hamilton, grooving to Pink Floyd and Soft Machine at the UFO Club, sitting in on AMM sessions, and further investigating the soundworlds of major figures in the international avant-garde: Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luciano Berio and John Cage. From them, both he and eventually John would borrow authentic musique concrete and electronic music techniques, breaking incredible new ground by applying these advanced procedures to pop. Effectively making them Beatles music. 

The influence of the avant-garde can be heard in the heavily treated vocals and complexity of tape loops that are Tomorrow Never Knows; the long ascending string bridges and tumultuous sustained single-note ending of A Day In the Life; the free-form coda of Strawberry Fields Forever; the collage of fairground organs in the middle eight bars of Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite; the dial- spinning transistor radio in the closing chaos of I am the Walrus; the sequence of classical snatches in the maelstrom of sound amid the final choruses of All You Need Is Love, and the entirety of both McCartney's still unreleased freak-out, Carnival of Light, and of Revolution 9, Lennon's dizzying exercise in aural free association which borrows from the cut-ups of John Cage and Stockhausen's Hymnen, a vast canvas of national anthems from around the world. Producer George Martin's playful inventiveness and wide musical experience proved invaluable in helping the Beatles realise their vision.

With Vinicius de Moraes, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto were the principle architects of bossa nova. A national institution in Brazil, Jobim's regard for the romantics, Ravel, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Chopin and his fellow countryman Villa-Lobos, was well known. Comparison between his masterful How Insensitive and Chopin's Prelude in E Minor, Opus 28, No. 4 confirms their affinity. Bossa Nova is for many personified by Joao Gilberto. He combined the vocal intimacy suggested by Lucio Alves with a guitar style that was in essence a minimalist reinvention of samba, the lightness of touch inspired by his mentor, the classical guitarist Garoto, who Joao described as The Heart of Brazil.
