FROM THE DOWNLOAD DEN AT ALL ABOUT JAZZ
The week after Christmas kicks off with three interesting covers of vocal tracks, ranging from Duke Ellington to Radiohead. On Monday December 27, soul-to-jazz singer Kellylee Evans spins a stylistic fusion on “Mood Indigo," then on Tuesday December 28, avant-garde melodic vocalist Lola Danza re-writes Radiohead's “Motion Picture Soundtrack," from the band's Kid A album. Her wordless vocals outdo the original version—they are set over the ticking of a movie projector and a murmuring accordion. On Wednesday December 29, British vocalist Tom Rust presents a smooth version of the Drifter's “Ruby Ruby," a song that can now be seen as a pivotal moment for rock and roll turning into rock.
