Can you imagine Nirvana re-imagined into a jazz tune?

Followed this one off the Drumeo set, they had given a jazz drummer "In Bloom" to play, having never heard it before.  From that, the algorithm served me the same guy (Ulysses Owens, Jr.) playing with his full band, reimagining Heart-Shaped Box.  If the video is to be believed, only the bassist had ever heard the song before.  And yet, it's pretty amazing what they accomplished.  The final performance starts at 7:40.

As a big Nirvana fan, I didn't love the first half or so of the performance. The original is a brooding, dark tune that shouldn't sound so sprightly, imo.

But it got more interesting/better as the playing got more intense (to my ears, anyway). Then, they lost me again when they strayed very far from the melody.

My favorite cover of this particular Nirvana song (no guitars, so it's definitely a re-imagining):
