Brilliant! Love the collage mix seeping it’s way into jazz.
I really liked their cover of All About That Bass
Oh, I almost forgot…

Huh, I thought I had found this group (and song) through BB previously, but I guess it must have been through random Youtube wanderings of jazz covers of punk songs.

Yeah, I was just going through their stuff, and it’s all pretty amazing. So many different styles and ways of turning familiar tunes into something new and wonderful.

In a similar vein, may I recommend Richard Cheese?

I got home last night and pulled this up, and was lost for an hour and a half. They have a ton of these videos, and I love how most of them tell you the song title, plus the musical style they’ve re-arranged it in, and the singer’s name. And what singers! Did you catch the one who also plays trumpet? She’s like… amazing at trumpet, too!

Yeah, they did All About That Bass when we saw them live earlier this year… was a really fun (but a little short) show.
