Rock bassist Tony Levin, known for his brilliant performances with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson, has teamed up with his multi-talented brother, Pete Levin, and an ensemble of great jazz musicians for a contemporary take on 1950's jazz.

Jack White covered the song on his Lazaretto tour at Bonaroo last year. Robert Plant told a Facebook Q&A that he would be happy to collaborate with Jack White and liked his "buccaneer spirit."
