Radiohead and Jazz
Have you heard Radiohead? Of course you had, you cannot escape pop, it's everywhere and Radiohead had their bit of fame as well. And that's even good, since their albums are very good and really deserve their fame. And that is demonstrated also by the way several jazz musicians have dedicated their attention to Radiohead's song. To my knowledge, everything begun with the master piece Exit music, as played by Brad Meldhau in his Art of the Trio vol.3 - the piece raised the interest of contemporary jazz musicians to Radiohead. Meldhau has performed several other pieces from them, like Paranoid Android. But other artists played a tribute to them as well; Chris Potter played Morning Sun, if I am not mistaken. Jazz versions of Radiohead's music, I will reccommend to everyone.
