Björk: Jazz Muse & Hyperballadeer [Mondo Jazz Ep. 73]

If jazz is, as someone put it, the sound of surprise, then it makes complete sense that countless musicians have become enamored with the music of Björk. Like the most innovative jazz musicians, Bjork is a restless artist that tries to continuously reinvent herself, often blending familiar sources in completely unprecedented ways, and deliberately challenging the status quo. In these two hours we'll check out some of the most intriguing jazz renditions of her work. The playlist features Björk, Yaron Herman, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Björk, Travis Sullivan, the Bjorkestra, Yuri Honing, Marcus Strickland, Larry Goldings, Paolo Angeli, Dave Douglas, Joël Allouche, The Bad Plus, The 3 Moons, Ann Dyer, Ada Montellanico, Iris Ornig, Harmen Fraanje, Fredrik Nordström.
