Jazz? Nirvana? Whaaa?

Ahoy, mateys!

I was driving to the day job today and listening to NPR (pledge drives: the most necessary, and most evil, of the necessary evils), Morning Edition, when I heard that, on Chicago Public Radio program Eight Forty-Eight, Eastern Blok are going to do a Balkan jazz version of Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box," as the final part of the program's UnderCover series. UnderCover features Chicago artists doing renditions of popular songs that aren't in their respective genres.

The program is airing live RIGHT NOW (as of 9 a.m. central time), but the encore presentation is at 8 p.m. central time on Chicago Public Radio.
