Listen man, I know this ain't new, taking a Nirvana song and making it jazz. The Bad Plus did this perhaps the most famously with Lithium on their album, For All I Care. (Or maybe there's some even more famous Nirvana jazz cover, but I loved For All I Care and I am very familiar with that cover.)
Anyway, but listen man, it's Friday and I want to share with you this little video of Ulysses Owens Jr and his band, all of whom - with the exception of the bassist - hear Heart Shaped Box for the first time and then proceed to cover it. Now maybe because he knows the song already, the bassist just rips shit up. Like, RIPS IT UP. But probably he's doing that all the time on all the songs. But the sax player also, I'm not kidding, when she started playing I almost got a tear in my eye.
So anyway, listen. Just, have a listen. And enjoy your Friday, y'all.
