Bilbo Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 We all heard Herbe Hancock's 'New Standards' CD a while back, where he @Jazzed' up a few pop songs but there are loads of interesting takes on non-Jazz tunes that deserve a look. No time boundaries, just some interesting takes on songs not originally written for Jazz performance. Some favourites of mine include: Medeski, Martin, Wood and Scofiled - Julia (a Beatles tune) - the recorded version is stunning Vijay Iyer - Human Nature - energetic take Ben Allison - Philadelphia (Neil Young) and 'We've Only Just Begun' (The Carepnters - the arrangement of this is amazing) The Bad Plus - Roundabout (Yes - really interesting take on the old prog classic) Keith Jarrett/Charlie Haden - 'Some Day I'll Fly Away' (Randy Crawford - beautiful version) There are loads more. Anyone got any favourites of their own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Here's my fave at the moment. Maybe a bit too funky for upright though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsqh9jHkHlM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
