Paul S Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I am looking for some unusual covers and stumbled across this - Deep Purple playing Smoke on the Water, jazz style. Not sure about Ian Gillan's voice these days but the music is great! [url="http://youtu.be/BLUusW_P7II"]http://youtu.be/BLUusW_P7II[/url] Anyone have any favourites they have found? I quite like the Pink Turtle stuff but am trying to find things that can easily translate to 2 x guitar, bass + drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle psychosis Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Don't have time to post links just now but you should check out The Bad Plus. Off-the-wall jazz trio covers of Nirvana, Aphex Twin, ABBA, film themes, all sorts. They're fantastic. Brad Mehldau also does an incredible version of Exit Music From A Film.

chaypup Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Not really jazz but I love this cover of 'Is This Love?' [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31OJYXW3V5M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31OJYXW3V5M[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomBass Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Another band is Nouvelle Vague, who I started listening to back in about 2005 when I was living in Hamburg. They cover pretty much everything and anything, with what can only be described as a Jazzy/Easy Listening/Bossa Nova vibe. Very cool to my ears.

Lowender Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) You can do any song in a swing style. Just walk over the changes and play ding ding a ding on the ride cymbal. But it will probably sound just as lame as those examples. (Though the Metallica piece is a parody and it's brilliant. That guy has a lot of great videos. ) Edited October 14, 2013 by Lowender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earbrass Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRgg5k7G6Vg[/media] and if you liked that..... (ok, not pop/rock, but.... wait for the changes at about 2.35 & 3.45 - Monty Alexander is playing the piano and the melodica) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxZsdWIuQRs Edited October 14, 2013 by Earbrass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Some interesting stuff there. Not much would translate to 2 guitars, bass a drums, but enjoyable to listen to. I like the idea of a bossanova 'Enter Sandman and particularly like the slowed down reggae version of Beat Crazy (at least I imagine that is what it is). Anyone have any simpler favourites?

AntLockyer Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 So yesterday I had my world rocked by KC Roberts, I was totally inspired to start a funk outfit with a brass section etc. Today I'm now totally inspired by Dirty Loops and I have no idea what to do with that inspiration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Just to allay anyone's fears, I saw Deep Purple last night and they are not doing the jazz-lite version of SOTW live, though after the first 5 or 6 songs Gillan did say 'Well that concludes the jazz part of the show...'
