Live on Soundcheck
On Soundcheck, you'll find in-studio performances by everyone from indie rockers to string quartets to jazz ensembles.

Grammy Award-winning saxophonist and composer Tim Ries has created a career out of the creative fusion of classical and jazz idioms. Over the last decade, he has taken a dip into the world of rock and roll with a world tour with the Rolling Stones, an experience that provided inspiration for his release Stones World: Rolling Stones World Music Project. Ries joins us live in the studio to discuss the process of adapting the Jagger-Richards canon into a jazz idiom and to perform live in the studio.

Heard just two songs by Tim Ries on Soundcheckboth were very interesting, which isa nice change from what is usually played on this show However, the commentary and technical information on the show, are invaluable to me.
$30?
Slightly too expansive for me, one never knows, I doubt Tim Ries is struggling. I attend a lot of local shows. In current economic environment, I cut back on everything but live music, especially local acts. If MGMT charges $20 after giving a free concert TR can certainly afford a cheaper admission.
ok, just one more thing. these jazz versions of stones songs sound remarkably like the Rent soundtrack. that's not a judgement, but it's interesting.
this is terrible. they are ruining these songs. it's like you just cut the balls right of the rolling stones.
maybe you don't like hey negrita because it's a fairly icky thing for a white guy to be singing? god i hate the rolling stones.
these dudes are reaching into the rock world because they think it's 'unique' and 'new'. but rock music came from blues, and blues has a relationship with jazz. i don't know, it's just not that exciting. and how about just writing new awesome music?
