The Pretenders\u2019 Chrissie Hynde<\/a> unveiled a striking interpretation of Charles Mingus\u2019 \u201cMeditation on a Pair Of Wire Cutters,\u201d set to appear on her upcoming album, Valve Bone Woe<\/em>, out September 6th via via BMG.<\/p>\n

The song finds Hynde and the Valve Bone Woe Ensemble condensing Mingus\u2019 23-minute original<\/a> into a hypnotic three-minute tune moored by an assortment of drums and other percussion, as well as the guiding thunk of Mingus\u2019 own instrument, the upright bass. Atop the rumble, Hynde\u2019s choral vocals waft amidst a mix of woodwinds, horns and reverb-soaked guitar.<\/p>\n

Valve Bone Woe<\/em> finds Hynde offering jazz-tinged versions of songs by a range of artists including the Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, John Coltrane, Nick Drake, Ray Davies and Rodgers and Hammerstein. Previously released<\/a> album cuts include Hynde and the Valve Bone Woe Ensemble\u2019s takes on the Beach Boys\u2019 \u201cCaroline, No\u201d and Don Raye and Gene de Paul\u2019s \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know What Love Is.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Hynde said of the LP, \u201cI\u2019m not hugely interested in branching out into other musical genres, being a devout rock singer as such, but jazz is something I grew up around (thanks to my bro) and I\u2019ve always had a soft spot for it. I often bemoan what I regard as a decline in melody in popular music and I wanted to sing melodies. Plus, I have a penchant for cover songs, it\u2019s the surprise of singing something that I didn\u2019t think of writing myself that turns me on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hynde will perform much of Valve Bone Woe<\/em> alongside the L.A. Philharmonic at a special concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles July 6th.<\/p>\n
