This is one of my favorite pop tunes done instrumentally. She embellishes it a lot to enhance the feeling of the song without taking it in a different direction. That's what I want to be able to do. Also I think the melody is pretty memorable so it gives her more to work with. More so than the Nirvana tune where it's basically just Cobain's feels propelling the song.

I suppose you'd add some dynamics? (nice playing for the rest, hammertone )
Anyway, this got me to finally dig up something I hadn't heard in ages ... not yet very sure what I think of it now... but I'm certain a live performance wouldn't be boring!

This is not instrumental but it shows how a 90ies grunge song could be voiced and reharmonized on keys.

Still, I've given serious thought to trying to adapt O&W for jazz band, because it's so musically powerful, and also has an alto sax solo (which is left out on the Andrew Powell record- couldn't they find one alto sax player who could improvise?), so it's a possibility, but will require a lot of work on my part to bring it off.
