Petra Haden & Bill Frisell improve on Coldplay's "Yellow." James Carter & Cyrus Chestnut do justice to the Pavement song book at full CD length on "Gold Sounds." In jazz/classical it's The String Quartet Tribute to Radiohead "Strung Out on OK Computer."
Best jazz covers of rock songs
Bad Plus got some ink for this, but I'm not a huge fan. Paul Desmond did Paul Simon (sort of rock) with (sort of) mixed results. I'm looking for interesting jazz takes on familiar tunes/riffs for entertaining purposes - my guests get familiarity and I get interesting music. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
