Recommend A Jazz-take on a Pop Song

Thought I'd start a topic for anyone who came across any jazz artist who interpret pop songs and want to share, post em here!

Nearly all great jazz artists performed popular music from films, theatre productions etc of their day, and most current jazz acts do at least a few covers in their career too.  Bad Bad Not Good's second, reminded me of this - the Kanye and Fiest covers for instance.

Here is Outkast's 'Hey Ya' covered by Australian trio Origami, from their album 'The Blues of Joy'

Nice and short, tearing through the melody and having some fun
