Rock Revival's Top Jazz Covers of Rock

As you can probably tell Rock Revival loves Jazz and has been evangelising it for some time. Not perhaps what we should be doing as a rock blog, but the boundary between the two has never been all that clear.

Is prog rock or jazz, why does Iggy Pop quote John Coltrane as his inspiration and what did Hendrix and Gil Evans talk about when they met.....

Well, a simpler combination of jazz and rock comes in jazz covers of rock songs, of which there are quite a few.
