This is probably why they avoided more covers on their last album.
They had one of the best music blogs. I miss it :(

I think that for it to work, out-of-genre covers of classics need to be
more than the musical equivalent of stunt casting. That's why I have a hard
time with bands like The Bad Plus. They play "Smells Like Teen Spirit" but
I'd rather hear them play "On Green Dolphin Street."

Yeah, I checked Can You Feel It, Strings didn't totally work for me,
but I was indeed feeling the Fingers cover.

I actually have messed around with similar covers here and there, I
think that we can expect to hear even more overlap between acoustic
and electronic genres in the future. There are some potentially
interesting things that have not yet been tried, in my opinion...

I've often thought a straight transcription of Strings of Life for string
orchestra and piano would be cool. The string parts are easy enough that
high school orchestras could perform it.

Pressed send too quickly.., I think Strings is good but not the best on the 
album. Probably Claire and Can You Feel It are my faves. Well worth a listen 
and IMHO better than the follow up album.

Hi Kent!
I don't know if it is the very first jazz version of strings.. but I can
say that I saw it coming from a long time.
Personally speaking I liked it, but I think that some songs shouldn't be
touched.
I'm affraid that we will listen to this version in every venue, every
lounge, everywhere, from here.

Thanks for sharing it.
Best,
Diego

thought they were one of the best artists I saw there.
