I'd be interested in suggestions of pop or rock tunes that have been ported to fusion or jazz styles. In particular, pieces that can be covered well by a trio or quartet.
I need to get better at this type of arranging, and I would benefit from some good examples.
Original genre can be most anything.
One example of what I mean is Johnny A's version of Wind Cries Mary:

Oh that is acceptable. Shepik isn't shit either.
(Actually I think I'm going to get into the understatement thing, as I'm fed up of 'killing', 'm*th*rf*ck*r', 'awesome' and so on.)
I really rather enjoy his Middle Eastern inflected stuff that the other David B (the bearer of all jazz guitar knowledge) introduced me to, and in turn I've turned a few people onto his stuff... I'd forgotten about this album.Last edited by christianm77; 06-03-2017 at 05:41 PM.

BTW - trying to track down CD's of noughties jazz albums is an expensive business! I would like a copy of that album for the car, but not at the prices they are at...
