Space Monkey on the Tenor Sax?

Music you love, music that moves you, music you wrapped your angst-filled self with in your youth: Now available in jazz formats. Yes, Patti Smith, Jane's Addiction and Soundgarden are reformulated for a new, older generation brought to you by actress and funny gal, Lea Delaria on her new album, Double Standards. From swing to Cassandra Wilson-ish dedoodles, DeLaria does a surprisingly good job. Raised on Coltrane, Bird and Miles Davis, De Laria moved to the harder stuff in her teenage years and decided to meld the two together.

Just the imagine the expressions on your friends faces as they listen and gradually figure out what the hell is playing.
