I continue to be amazed at how Jazz musical artists seem to regularly find inspiration in the rock band Nirvana.    I just have to post this excellent and delightful cover of Nirvana's COME AS YOU ARE from their breakthrough album Nevermind. 

Charlie Hunter has become a staple on the jazz scene not only fronting his own ensembles but guesting with numerous others on the jazz vanguard. COME AS YOU ARE is the initial offering under the name Charlie Hunter Trio from their album bing, bing, bing!

Nirvana were from Seattle and were intricately interwoven with the grunge rock scene and their success helped make the descriptive "alternative rock" label a household phrase. Initially the alternative rock label was really just to say the grunge rock was an alternative to the heavy metal "hair" band that preceded them.
