Jason Moran, Dave Douglas, the Bad Plus take on Bjork: Success?
Icelandic vocalist and artist Bjork has often skirted the borders of rock and other conventional art forms, creating both elusive and sometimes unpredictable art and persona. Her work has challenged numerous creative musicians associated with the jazz space to interpret her work, including Jason Moran, the Bad Plus and Gretchen Parlato. This round-up assessment of jazz interpretations of Bjork has aspects that may not enthrall, like numeric ratings that can prove confining; at least this compilation can send us on our way to explore Bjork, and her influence of these artists and their work, for ourselves.
