Radiohead’s track “Everything in its Right Place” was seminal. It announced the transition of the band from indie guitar rock to ambient pulse music. The song, from 2000, has since been covered by several stars, including Robert Glasper and Brad Mehldau, but for the best version when it comes to a polished video, here’s a vote for the version from Open Studio. Open Studio is an online jazz teaching platform covering beginner to master class levels. Among its well-known teachers are the performers on this track: Peter Martin on piano, Adam Maness on synthesizer, Bob DeBoo on bass and bass synthesizer, and Kaleb Kirby on drums. Completed in a single take, this Radiohead cover tune offers an experience that should get any jazz fan’s head bobbing. Especially worth noting are the laid-back intensity; the dark visual backdrop contrasted with angled spotlights; the clever knob-turning effect from muffled tone to bright at 00:36; the reharmonized piano solo at 1:34, and the set-'em-loose drum solo.
