Here is a video of the Jazz Overhaul performance on āŖ@knkxā¬ Public Radio for their live Studio Session series on 88.5 FM, hosted by Abe Beeson. It was a blast and the video looks AWESOME! We performed all Seattle grunge music: "Would?" (Alice In Chains), "Black Hole Sun" (Soundgarden), and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (Nirvana). Enjoy!

Our arrangements of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Black" are now on Spotify. Enjoy!
The poster for the 1992 filmĀ SinglesĀ inspired the Jazz Overhaul photoshoot, and the film's soundtrack makes up much of our repertoire. Kassandra Morrow did an AMAZING job designing the poster!!
