Piano versions of contempory music??

Flinty

Ok, sorry for the weird request, but I heard a version of Neil Young's 'Old Man' done by Brad Mehldau on the piano the other day and I loved it. I found some other stuff of his, he does some great versions of Radio head tunes. So, it got me thinking.

Does anyone know any other artist who does modern(ish) (pop or other types, but not classical or anything like that) music on the piano (instrumentals)? I'm sure there are loads, but all I can find when I google is sheet music.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

i think this site is what your lookin for, http://www.vitaminrecords.com/web/page.asp?pgs=products&catid=30

you can listen to samples of most of the albums and theres also string quartet versions of a lot more stuff which is probably better imo

Hitch-Hiker

Tori Amos did a version of Black by Pearl Jam which is pretty cool, although she leaves out the bridge I can't remember where it is though. Google can help out I'm sure.

Was just about to suggest Mehldau. He's playing in Vicar street btw if you're interested. Info in Jazz/blues forum under the thread: Upcoming Jazz/blues.
