Norma Winstone: It's Later Than You Think
2006 release by Norma Winstone with the NDR Bigband includes a cover of 15 Petals.
Excerpt from AllAboutJazz.com review -- "Big Yellow Taxi" is a perilous undertaking — guitar-based songs often become earthbound in a big band treatment, losing their natural flow — but Towns is able to sustain a lightness of accompaniment that sets off Winstone's original take on the melody. Elvis Costello’s "15 Petals" has a quasi-African feel, whilst Leonard Cohen's "Sisters of Mercy" reaches a nightmarish centre-point with discords reminiscent of Kurt Weill.
