The Audio Ecotone

Jazz takes on rock, on Listening Lyrics, June 12, 2026

Rock 'n' roll and jazz have always had a complicated relationship. Rock is often built on simplicity, energy, and attitude. Jazz thrives on improvisation, reinterpretation, and surprise. But when jazz musicians get their hands on rock songs, something magical can happen.

Whether you're a jazz fan curious about rock, a rock fan curious about jazz, or simply someone who enjoys hearing great musicians take creative chances, I think you'll find plenty to enjoy.

So settle in, keep your ears open, and see if you can recognize these classics as they're transformed by some of the world's most inventive jazz artists.

I'm Pieter Pastoor, and this is Listening Lyrics on KDRT 95.7 FM, Davis. Listen in now.
