The Bad Plus - Smells Like Teen spirit (Nirvana cover)

[280az]

Frankly I prefer Robert glasper's version more it has a nice feel

[reekodo]

@280az Both are good interpretations...in fact, I prefer both versions to the original

[MiStiQueT]

I just love this.

[yacumanajiri]

LOL I listened to this song when the bad plus came in my town, they're very good!

[say2joe]

The homage is something to be commended, but the execution is leaving me with a lack of proper oration. At least, in the beginning. Now that I'm hearing more of the song, this is actually a wonderful jazz improv piece. Beautifully constructed with the same spirit (no pun intended), though different genre, as the original. The dissidence and cacophony rings true today more than ever.

[samsarahmail]

An amazing marriage of music!! bravo!

Honestly, I´ve heard way much better covers in jazz music.

They just play the chords and notes as the original song and put some improvisation. Why don´t you try Charlie Hunter´s Come as you are version with the SLTS intro? That´s a jazz cover !!!! Also John Scoffield version of "Satisfaction"

[aJazzcat]

@elguapoluigi if you don't include the same melody, it's not the same song

[patio86]

@aJazzcat someone named Jazzcat should know that the melody is just a result of the changes. chords are more significant than the melody.

[aJazzcat]

@patio86 i don't know a thing about jazz. i'm just a fan of carl thompson :)

[edthewave]

@patio86 What came first, the melody or the chords? Sort of like the "chicken and egg" quandary.

[Justlikanutha1]

@elguapoluigi like he says in that movie 'the player', now if only we could get rid of those actors and directors we'd be on to something

[davemorphine]

@elguapoluigi

I Agree.. i like jazz too and theres nothing much in this song...

[wherenextcolumbus]

@elguapoluigi

Who cares if it's not the greatest jazz cover ever, let it be good just coz it's good.

[faspxina]

awesomeness

[JumpShotDude]

very artistic drummer

[ferdydurkeify]

you should also listen to the lars danielsson&leszek modzer version.

[stormywaveonyoutub]

only: Waouwwww!

[nellotron]

Bad plus so good

[davexchapelle]

this is quite literally the greatest musical composition i've ever heard in my entire life. This or Spanish Castle Magic at least.

[mrpercussive]

dude... David King is a genius! Very melodic in his counterpoint lines and it grooves!

[Wtb7Oits]

OMG. THIS IS SOMETHING LOL

[GuyInZeeCorner]

Yes. Just...yes.

[grimobo]

they are so wicked. their blue moon and that abba song - freakonomics on the kb

[mbtaphotographer]

The pianist's ability to do those compound meters is pretty incredible. I love the part at 3:36 where he reaches inside and strums the piano strings..

[elcueropeneano]

the drummer was drunk or something?

[cazmo222]

no, just very talented.

[94029374938402048]

@elcueropeneano Dave King is one of the greatest drummers alive. Get real.

[looi117]

@elcueropeneano its called jazz drumming

[Denyernator]

@elcueropeneano maybe, if alcohol makes you awesomely talented. This style of drumming is very tricky to do, I'd like to see you get your puny head around it.

[donsolo00]

@elcueropeneano He's intentionally hanging behind the beat pretty heavy on the verses. It locks in at the chorus. It's really fantastic drumming. Very deep pocket.

[thirteensevens]

awesome music! heard it on NPR and love it!
