What about the 'cover bands', the two that come to mind are t.j. kirk
that did Thelonius monk, James brown, and rassaan roland KIRK, one of
the tightest bands I ever saw. Another Bay Area band is Oranj
Symphonette that did an album of all Mancini tunes, very cool.
Also:
Charlie Hunter Duo/Trio/Quartet/Quintet etc. did 'Come As You Are'
the Nirvana tune in a 6/8 groove, and 'Tennessee Waltz', 'Fables of
Fabus'.
