Bad Plus's PROG featuring jazzed up Tom Sawyer cover released today

Tue, May 8, 2007@8:43AM | comments removed/disabled

Back in February I'd mentioned a Minnesota-based jazz trio called The Bad Plus that is known for performing jazz covers of well-known rock songs. Their latest album PROG is released today and contains a jazzified cover of the Rush classic Tom Sawyer as well as covers of Burt Bacharach's This Guy's in Love with You, David Bowie's Life on Mars, and Tears for Fears' Everybody Wants to Rule the World. An mp3 of their Tom Sawyer cover is available online (thanks to Dave for the heads up) at this location courtesy Sterogum. You can also listen to it using the player below.
